“After teaching in an urban environment for over ten years, my experience at the clinic brought me back to my roots, giving me a different way to help clients who cannot afford to pay for an attorney, yet who are in dire need of legal assistance,”

"I never dreamed that I would serve two presidents, the U.S. Navy, two governors and the Pennsylvania Senate and be the first woman in our state to serve as its secretary-parliamentarian.”

"The impact of our clinic is twofold: we provide much-needed legal help to members of the local community who would otherwise not be able to afford it and we prepare students with practical experience representing real clients with real legal issues."

“I like to say that Widener found me,” Nelson said, adding that she had a friend who attended the law school in Harrisburg and during a visit, observed how close-knit the students were. “It felt like a family,” she said.

“Widener is really good at seeing potential and building on it, creating great students and attorneys."

“Widener had the only evening program in the area. I didn’t have the option to quit my job or travel because I was working and had two small children.”

"My favorite part of Widener is the sense of community. I immediately felt welcomed by fellow classmates, professors, and faculty. Everyone was so kind and helpful from the get-go. I quickly learned everyone at Widener is here to help and guide me in any way possible through my legal education."
