"Since I was eight years old, I dreamed of becoming an attorney. But as a nontraditional student with a family to support, scholarships and financial aid played a critical role in determining whether I could achieve that aspiration. The University of Houston Law Center's generosity helped make that dream a reality. Thanks to UHLC's generosity, I have relished the last three years of learning to think like a lawyer, interacting with UHLC's brilliant professors, and working alongside my fellow classmates. I feel incredibly fortunate that UHLC invested in me as a student, and I look forward to the opportunity to return that generosity as a practicing attorney." - Shannon Wright
“I cherished every day for the past three years at the UH Law Center because there is so much to learn from the outstanding legal scholars and seasoned practitioners in its teaching faculty. The Law Center’s nationally top ranked Intellectual Property and Health Law programs have equipped me with the knowledge and skill sets to thrive in academic legal research and pursue interdisciplinary practice opportunities. I feel fortunate to be a student at the Law Center and am beyond grateful for its generous support in all aspects.” - Andy Guo
