Teresa K. Baumann '01 Law Hometown: Clear Lake, Iowa |
|
"Studying law at Iowa has been like a dream come true. The professors are great and always accessible -- I can go to any of them at any time -- and I have opportunities here that I wouldn't get at most schools. I know that wherever I go with my career, my Iowa degree will help me stand out." Teresa has been interested in law since she was a kid growing up in northern Iowa. Now, as she's about to set off on her career in Minneapolis, she knows she's set up for success in the legal field. And she knows that her success as a student has been nurtured by the alumni and friends of the College of Law. Teresa received the George McBurney Merit Scholarship, established by a loyal UI law graduate. She was also the 2000-2001 Editor in Chief of the prestigious Iowa Law Review and a member of the National Moot Court Team -- invaluable opportunities made possible by annual contributions to the Law School Annual Fund. That support from past Iowa graduates has meant the difference between an average law school experience and a superior education that will serve Teresa well. "I can't thank them enough," she says of her predecessors, "and I'll gladly return the favor to a UI student someday."
