OPD Student Centerstage MARY KELLEHER, CLASS OF 2021 "This past summer, I had the opportunity to intern at the highest state court in New York—The New York Court of Appeals. The Office of Professional Development (OPD) played a significant role in helping me obtain this internship. From perfecting my resume to giving me interview tips, the OPD was always there to push me toward reaching my career goals. I am very thankful for all the help Dean Lucas-Ross and her team provided me. I encourage all students at Ave Maria to take advantage of this invaluable resource."
