Director of Experiential Learning
鈥淲hen I first began conducting intake interviews as a Legal Service Coordinator during my externship with Philadelphia Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts, I struggled to identify specific issues. I asked the Director to conduct an interview so I could see how a professional would handle the issues and get all relevant information.听By the end of the semester, my interviewing skills impressed the Director and I was much more confident talking to new clients.鈥
