The McKinney Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law Lawyer Fall 2017 Issue Robert H. McKinney Receives Herman B Wells Visionary Award For All: The Indiana University Bicentennial Campaign IU McKinney Signs Cooperation Agreement with Vietnam National University Message from the Dean At the IU McKinney School of Law, student success is our top priority. In recent years, we have increased our support efforts and I want to share some of the outstanding programming we offer to help our students to succeed from their first day as part of the law school family. Our Office of Student Affairs assigns an advisor to every student at the beginning of the academic year. These advisors provide guidance on any number of academic and per- sonal issues that students may encounter. The office also sponsors a range of wellness programs throughout the year, beginning with intensive “Wellness Week” programming at the start of the semester, providing students with information about resources to enhance fitness, relieve stress, and make law school a positive experience on a personal level. In addition to the efforts of the Office of Student Affairs, the school has established a formal Academic and Bar Success Program that provides academic assistance to stu- dents. Programs for first-year students include a skills-based workshop series offered during the first semester that focuses on study methods, case and rule synthesis, out- lining, and exam preparation. Some of you may remember the Dean’s Tutorial Society (DTS) from when you were in school. The DTS is a long-standing tradition at IU McKinney, dating back to the 1970s, that offers peer-to-peer support for the first-year classes, “survival series” panels to assist with the transition to law school, and one-on-one tutoring for students who seek to improve their academic performance after the first semester. For third-year students, we now offer a course on bar exam strategies and tactics. To make sure that students know what lies ahead, the school also invites representatives from the Indiana Board of Law Examiners to present an information session covering the state’s bar exam application process, character and fitness, the online portal, and to an- swer general bar exam questions. Our support of our students doesn’t end at graduation. During bar review, graduates have the opportunity to be paired with faculty mentors who offer support, advice, and feedback. Additionally, we hold sessions throughout the bar review period that allow stu- dents to take practice exams in a realistic “bar exam-like” environment. Practice sessions cover all three parts of the bar exam, and conclude with a day-long, mini-bar exam. In short, it is our goal to do all we can to put McKinney students in a position to thrive. I am proud of the efforts of our faculty and staff, and I am well aware that we couldn’t do it without your support. I hope you enjoy this edition of the magazine, and seeing all that is happening at your alma mater. Andrew R. Klein Dean and Paul E. Beam Professor of Law Contents IU Robert H.
