“ M y LVC professors were eager to help in any way they could when I was applying to law schools. Because LVC is a small school, they actually knew me well enough to write more than a stock recommendation letter.”

English major (with literature concentration); religion minor
Attorney Grogan Graffam, P.C. in Pittsburgh, PA

Ruth didn’t know what career path she wanted to take when she came to LVC and still wasn’t sure when she left. But the skills and perspectives gained through her liberal arts education left her with many options. After graduation, Ruth worked as a legal secretary, went to law school, and now works at a firm practicing civil defense law. Ruth didn’t know it at the time, but she was preparing for her law career during her time at LVC. “My English major helped hone my analytical and writing skills, which I use every day in my work.”
