Dear Class of 2025,
I am thrilled to welcome you to Columbia Law School as a member of the Class of 2025! I am the Associate Dean of Student and Registration Services, and I lead our phenomenal Student and Registration Services teams. Our Student Services team facilitates the onboarding process, academic advising, housing, student life programs, and graduation. We believe that the Law School experience is much more than just what happens in the classroom and that together we can build an inclusive community that supports you as you explore your passions and take advantage of all that Columbia and New York City have to offer.
Throughout the summer, you will hear from us through our To-Do Tuesday newsletters, which contain important dates, RSVP information for events, welcome messages from various administrative offices, and other general information you should know or procedures to complete. Each task takes less than 20 minutes to complete and will help ensure your smooth transition to the Law School.
On behalf of the student-facing administrative offices, please let me reiterate that we are elated to welcome you to Columbia Law School! Should you have any questions, feel free to send us an email.
Best wishes,
Yadira Ramos-Herbert
