On October 24, Lauren Nesbitt '11 returned to Catholic University's Columbus School of Law (Catholic Law) to share insights with current law students about her time in law school, her career path, and the best practices she has obtained along her professional journey. The conversation with students was hosted by the Black Law Student Mentoring and Leadership Program, designed to empower all Catholic Law students to realize their full potential as members of the legal profession.

The program opened with a welcome and introduction of Nesbitt from Professor Veryl Miles, faculty adviser to the leadership program. Beginning with advice on the importance of building relationships from study groups in school to networking in the professional world, Nesbitt also noted the critical lessons she learned from Catholic Law faculty and clinical experiences. It is the valuable education she took from classrooms of the likes of (retired) professor Lou Barracato, professor Regina Jefferson, and professor Roger Hartley, to name a few, that Nesbitt still references today - despite being more than a decade into her practice. The program closed with an opportunity for students to ask questions.
