Table of Experts: Trends in Higher Education<\/strong><\/a> — from bizjournals.com by Holly Dolezalek. The Minneapolis-St. Paul Business Journal held a panel discussion recently about trends in higher education.<\/em><\/p>\n

Excerpts (which focus on law schools\/the legal profession):<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Anthony Niedwiecki:\u00a0<\/strong>The legal profession and legal education are very conservative. Covid showed they can, and we as institutions\u00a0can, change. At Mitchell Hamline, we were the first law school in the country to offer a partially online JD degree.<\/span><\/strong> We\u2019ve had that experience since 2015, which has really helped us through Covid. But I think the biggest thing I\u2019ve learned from our students through this process is the need for flexibility. We thought students would want to go back into the classroom at some point and be around people. No! They voted by the classes they signed up for: They signed up for the classes that were online. <\/strong><\/span>Some students want to be on campus, some online. So we\u2019ve had to develop our program around different types of modalities we may not have given any thought to before. The students in the online program range in age all the way up to 73 years old. They\u2019ve been in careers, they\u2019re accountants, they\u2019re doctors, they\u2019re health care professionals, elected officials. The other thing is office hours \u2014 students like online office hours because it\u2019s convenient, and they can be in an office where other people are talking and learn from it.<\/p>\n

\n
\u00a0The lesson I take from that, in some ways, even applying it to the law school, is having that partnership with people who want to hire students to make sure that they\u2019re actually involved with the students. We\u2019re finding they help mentor those students, help us make sure we have the right courses in place, and give them opportunities to do internships and externships. So we\u2019ve been starting to partner with some national professional organizations that are attached to the law.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
