<p><span><span><span>Few experiences have impacted my approach to being a teacher like being a student. In 2012, I entered the Ph.D. program in Higher Education and Student Affairs at the University of Iowa while teaching legal writing full-time. I hadn’t been a student for 23 years, and it was both exciting and nerve-wracking to enter the classroom again. In addition, I was entering the classroom at the age of forty-two—much, much older than most of the other students, and sometimes older than the teacher.

<p>Dear LWI Colleagues,</p>

<p>I’m having a hard time believing this will be my last Letter from the President before my term ends. The time has flown by, and as a community dedicated to improving the teaching and discipline of legal writing and the status of legal writing faculty, we have done a tremendous amount of good work together.</p>
