Carthage pre-law club wins four national awards
The Carthage chapter of Phi Alpha Delta (a national pre-law fraternity) has been recognized for excellence, winning four major national awards.
Outstanding Pre-Law Professional Program Award (1st place)
Carthage pre-law students were recognized for their work with the “Helping Hands Free Legal Clinic.” Carthage students organized to provide volunteer services at the ELCA Outreach Center in Kenosha, where they shadowed attorneys working at a free legal clinic. When not working directly with the attorneys, students assisted the center in other ways as well. (This activity won the Carthage campus award for Best Community Service.)
Outstanding Pre-Law Recruitment Award (1st place)
Carthage pre-law students were recognized for their extremely successful Fall Involvement Fair, which allowed the group to inform the Carthage community about its record of service and active roster of events for the coming year.
Outstanding Pre-Law Communication Program Award (2nd place)
The Carthage Phi Alpha Delta Chapter was recognized for excellence in communication both internally, with chapter members and other Carthage students, and externally, with the local community.
Outstanding Pre-Law Chapter (3rd place)
The Carthage pre-law student club won third place nationally in this most prestigious general category, taking one of the “Don Hutson Outstanding Pre-Law Chapter Awards.” The chapter was awarded for its leading role and participation in an active roster of pre-law events at Carthage. These include a first-year student orientation session, a Law School Fair, a webinar on applying to law school, an LSAT preparation seminar, and many guest speakers (attorneys and alumni).
