General Education Impact

"My Fundamentals of Speech course really impacted my life. After completing that course, I added Communication Studies as a major. That course helped me understand a deeper meaning to my "why" of why I wanted to practice law. Before taking this course, I thought my future was about crafting arguments. After this course, I gained an appreciation on how my future is actually more about advocacy, empathy and crafting change.

Being challenged to think differently and approach problems from a different angle makes you better in your field."

Allyson Monson | SDSU alum, J.D. Candidate at University of Kansas School of Law
