Meet the Staff
The College of Law provides a virtually seamless transition from prospect, to admitted candidate, to law student, to lawyer by streamlining staff and administrative contacts and coordinating strategic planning and activities.
Heading this administrative unit is Dr. Karen R. Britton. Karen has worked on both sides of the legal hiring process - for a legal employer before coming to the College of Law - and is in charge of strategic planning and direction for both the Career Services and Admissions/ Financial Aid departments. She is a former president of the National Association for Law Placement (NALP,) a national organization providing leadership in the coordination of legal career planning, recruitment, hiring, and employment for law students and lawyers.
Career Advisor Kay Brown counsels students and alumni on a variety of career development issues, including assessment of skills and interests. She also oversees the office resource center, tracks employment statistics, manages student participation in off-campus job fairs, and supports our judicial clerkship and public interest advising programs.
Employer Relations and Recruitment Coordinator Joe Christian serves as the office's primary employer liaison, developing and maintaining relationships with employers nationwide and coordinating all student and employer functions related to formal interview opportunities organized by the Career Center. He also coordinates outreach strategies and provides advising assistance to current students and alumni.
Access to Justice and Mentoring Coordinator Brad Morgan works to develop, maintain, and advance strategic relationships with a variety of groups that both offer and need pro bono service, as well as working to enhance student access to information related to public interest employers. Brad also works on developing, maintaining and monitoring the new mentoring program at the College of Law.
Students and alumni are invited to drop by the Career Center in suite 250 of the College of Law, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, or make an appointment to ensure that a staff member will be available for consultation at a convenient time.
