Shanley Chandler ‘17, 1L at the University of Oregon School of Law
Providence College provided me with the opportunity to learn in a wide array of subjects that piqued my interests while also showing me the importance of leadership. As an inherently shy person, I never believed I could be a voice heard in a crowded room. But I learned that anyone can have that voice if they find what they are passionate about.
My passions led to a wonderful teaching opportunity at a Montessori School, where I learned the value in early childhood education. However, while I worked with these wonderful students I knew that I wanted to do more, and that these children needed more. The voice that PC gave me allowed me to realize that I could give back to other children who believe they will never be heard.
I am currently a first year student at The University of Oregon Law School, where I will be pursuing Child Advocacy Law. The skills and support I have received from the professors in the History Department are immeasurable and they will stick with me beyond my educational career.
