Why English?

Jennifer N. Hinds, Class of 2011

Associate at Bowman and Brooke LLP

I always knew I was going to be an English major in college and my time at SCU made me realize this was the right choice for me.

I always knew I was going to be an English major in college and my time at SCU made me realize this was the right choice for me. The English Department helped provide me with the indispensable skills necessary to write persuasive arguments in all aspects of litigation and effectively communicate with other attorneys and with the Court. The faculty all challenged me which instilled me with confidence and competence. As an associate at a national law firm representing manufacturers and Fortune 500 companies in contentious litigation, I constantly draw from the foundation I learned as an English major at SCU.
