The article "Embracing the New Academic Success: How Advising Using a Growth Mindset Can Enhance Law School Performance" by Titichia M. Jackson provides a timely and insightful framework for faculty and staff working in academic support roles. Drawing on the challenges and lessons of the COVID-19 pandemic, the article advocates for a shift from traditional, fixed-mindset methods of legal instruction and advising to more empathetic, flexible, and student-centered approaches. By adopting a growth mindset, educators can better meet the diverse learning needs of students, promote resilience, and foster inclusive learning environments that encourage self-assessment and continuous development. This piece serves as a valuable guide for reimagining academic success in legal education, making it especially relevant for those committed to improving outcomes and well-being for law students.

Under her leadership, AASE reached an unprecedented level of organization and it forged communication inroads with the NCBE.

If you have any questions about the AASE presidency or leadership, reach out to Ash. You're likely to learn a lot about AASE and maybe something about haunted houses.
