Connect With a UH Law Student Ambassador
University of Houston Law Center Student Ambassadors represent the J.D. program by sharing their experiences with prospective and admitted students. Ambassadors participate in recruiting events, answer questions from a current student perspective, and help future law students learn more about academics, student organizations, journals, clinics, legal work experience and life at UH Law in Houston.
Prospective and admitted students can meet an Ambassador during a Chat With a Student Ambassador virtual session. Sessions are offered during the fall and spring semesters and are not offered during the summer. Please register at least 24 hours in advance through the Admissions Event Calendar (opens in a new tab).
