Position Summary:

The Center for Pre-Law Advising (CPLA) is hiring for a new Pre-Law advisor! In addition to 1:1 advising responsibilities, CPLA advisors have Lead Areas, e.g. Lead for Data & Test Preparation and Lead for Professional Development Programming. The person hired for this position will take a lead role in planning and facilitating a range of Pre-Law initiatives, including informing marketing strategies, often in close collaboration with campus partners.

CPLA seeks to help increase access to and equity and diversity within the field of law by providing excellent advising, programming, and other law career development resources to all interested UW-Madison students and alumni - no time limit! CPLA guides advisees on application development, preparing for the LSAT, school selection, strategic exploration of careers in legal fields, and planning for gap/experiential years. CPLA is not affiliated with the UW Law School, though they are a valued campus partner.

CPLA is co-located with the Center for Pre-Health Advising (CPHA) within Pre-Professional Advising in 205 Middleton Building. CPLA and CPHA are highly collaborative, independent advising units with a shared priority of increasing access, equity, and diversity within the fields of law and health. The role reports to the Director of Pre-Professional Advising and works with a group of highly supportive colleagues. The units are administratively based in the Office of Undergraduate Advising (OUA) along with three other direct-service advising units: Cross-College Advising Service (CCAS), Career Exploration Center (CEC), and the Online Undergraduate Degree (OUD) Academic/Career Advising Office.

Pre-Professional Advising currently operates remotely due to COVID-19, and will begin a full transition back to primarily in-person operations starting in August 2021.
