2013 Aug 29

Eight law students at the University of Kansas have been selected as Dean’s Fellows for 2013-14, including Paige Blevins, of Great Bend.

A second-year law student, Blevins has participated in Women in Law and the Public Interest Law Society. This year she will serve as a staff editor for the Kansas Journal of Law and Public Policy and events coordinator for the Public Interest Law Society. She is the daughter of Ralph and Laura Blevins. She graduated from Great Bend High School. As an undergraduate, Blevins attended the University of Kansas.

The second- and third-year students will serve as mentors for first-year students, providing them with a peer’s insight into the first-year experience and helping ease their transition into law school.

This is the seventh year for the program, which is administered by the law school’s Office of Student Affairs.

“To be selected as a Dean's Fellow, one must show leadership, compassion and a willingness to serve those following behind them,” said Kaitlin Brigman, student affairs counselor at the law school. “The Dean’s Fellows are a select group, and the ones chosen for this academic year possess an especially wonderful set of qualities that will serve as an invaluable resource to the incoming students.”
