A Student's Perspective

DanNielE Fulmer

"Participating in the 3+1 program between Wilson College and Vermont Law School was one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my academic career. I am grateful for the support that I received from professors at both schools while pursuing this accelerated track and humbled by the opportunity I had to learn from distinguished scholars in my field of interest."
