So it is with Clinical Education clerkships and internships for future attorneys at Empire College’s School of Law. The school’s Dean Pat Broderick says through the program, third- and fourth-year law students are provided the opportunity to gain training and education in a clinical setting while earning academic credits.

Matthew Clark is such an example. After completing his service in the U.S. Marine Corps, he decided to use his education benefits under the GI Bill to pursue a technology degree in the area of network and information security at Empire College.

Well, another six week module has ended and the three week module has begun. The classes I had in the six week module are:

Medical Management: This was a really fun class. We worked together as a team and we all worked together really well. We did several fundraisers for “Camp Driven Spirit” and a Scholarship for one student to take the CMAA. Mary Ellen gave us a lecture on Sexual Harassment in The Work Place (Mary Ellen and Megan were so funny sharing their stories), also Lynda gave a lecture on HIPAA & Compliance and Common Fraud and Abuse Schemes.  It was a lot of fun (Lynda had us laughing also.) Life is too short not to have laughter!

There are so many things happening in my life, it is difficult to find a beginning for my first student blog. I am now in my third module at Empire College, and I truly love it here. I heard about Empire through my step sister, who is nearly finished with her Specialized Associate Degree in the Medical Assistant Program. I decided to check out the college website for information and instantly became interested in the legal programs that are offered. I sent an email requesting more information and received a phone call from Aimee, my admissions counselor, that same day. Within a matter of days I was enrolled for classes for my Specialized Associate Degree in the Paralegal Program; with my classes beginning the very next month. The process was so simple; the financial aid department basically did all of the work for me. I found out how affordable federal student loans really are. The small monthly payments that I will make to pay back my loan don’t begin until after I graduate; and with Empire College being so well established in our community, businesses are practically in line to hire the graduates here. The Career Services department at Empire College will help students to find work both while attending school and after graduating. Soon I am going to make an appointment with Lucille in Career Services so that she can help me with my resume and finding a part-time job while in school.
