The Health Professions and Prelaw Information Center, IUB | |
 Getting accepted to a professional school requires academic savvy as well as a grounded understanding of the application and selection process. Each year, staff (above) at the Health Professions and Prelaw Information Center at IUB see approximately 1,000 students through the process of applying to a professional program associated with the office, a challenge that has been honored with a major award from the National Academic Advising Association. Standing (left to right) are John Simpson, HPPLIC director; Ed Heath, allied health adviser; Carol Bart, assistant director and allied health adviser; Mac Francis, pre-law adviser; Annemarie Sharp, office manager; and (seated, left to right) Malanie Yuraitis, student worker; and Jennifer Light Sare, recommendations secretary. | The Health Professions and Prelaw Information Center (HPPLIC) at IU Bloomington has won a year 2000 Outstanding Institutional Advising Program Award from the National Academic Advising Association. Directed by John Simpson (who, incidentally, plays the carillon at the Student Building on special occasions), HPPLIC was founded in 1970 as a premedical advising service that has branched out to offer individual advising by specialists in the health and law fields.
IUB students do well in the application process. Last year, more than 150 students were admitted to dental and medical schools, and nearly 400, or 80 percent, of applicants were admitted to law schools in 1998. |
