Eastern Connecticut State University Student Scott Davis of West Haven Member of Eastern's Pre-Law Society

2012 Mar 13

Scott Davis '13 of West Haven, CT, is a member of Eastern's Pre-Law Society.

Davis is majoring in Sport & Leisure Management.

The Pre-Law Society serves to provide information and resources to students that are interested in the field of law.

During the fall semester, the Pre-Law Society worked with Eastern's Office of Institutional Advancement to bring three alumni back to campus to speak to students about careers in the field of law. The alumni that participated in this event included Michael Endler, a partner at Boies, Schiller and Flexner; Bridget Gallagher, a partner at Brown, Paindiris and Scott; and Louis Pace, chief clerk of the Judicial District of Danbury.

More than 30 percent of the full-time students enrolled at Eastern now participate in at least one club/organization, an increase of almost 10 percent since fall 2008. Students who participate in clubs/organizations excel in the classroom and do better academically than students who do not participate. In spring 2011, 1,345 full-time students participating in clubs had an average GPA of 3.06, much higher than the 2.84 average for those students not taking part in any of the nearly 70 clubs/organizations.

Clubs/organizations planned and implemented almost 600 events last academic year. These programs have a direct impact on the daily life of all students on Eastern's campus. The programs range from social to educational, physical to spiritual, and civic engagement programs that equally affect the community. Eastern Connecticut State University is the state's public liberal arts university. Eastern serves approximately 5,600 students each year on its Willimantic campus and satellite locations.
