Professionalism

At Colorado Law, we believe that learning how to be an effective professional is just as important as learning the law. 

To foster our students' professional preparedness and sense of professionalism, we have developed the Colorado Law Professionalism "How To" Spring Series.  Each session in the series focuses on a different skill necessary for a successful professional future and provides a supportive environment for students to ask questions, increase their competencies, and connect with valuable professional resources. 

The spring 2013 "How To" sessions included:

  • How To Find Your Passion (January 22, 2013)
  • How To Make Smart Loan & Debt Management Choices (February 4, 2013)
  • How To Network & Build Professional Relationships (February 5, 2013)
  • How To Market Yourself & Define Your Value Proposition (February 26, 2013)
  • How To Build A Strong Professional Reputation (March 11, 2013)
  • Success At Work: How To Handle Assignments (April 4, 2013)
  • Professionalism: How It Looks in the Real World (April 8, 2013)

Heather Jarvis, a nationally renowned student loan expert, was our presenter for the "How To Make Smart Loan & Debt Management Choices" session.  She provided valuable strategies for borrowing and paying back your student loans. The following links were included in Heather's powerpoint presentation and should be helpful references as you make borrowing and repayment decisions.
