California Baptist University

Caelan Thompson ’20 B.A. in political science

What were your initial post-grad plans?

My plan post graduation was to attend law school and earn my juris doctorate.

How did COVID-19 change those plans?

Not by much. I’m now a first year law student at the University of La Verne College of Law, although it’s via Zoom for the time being. It’s good that we are still able to learn during such uncertain times, but it definitely takes a lot more effort to find reliable internet and focus. Do you think you learned anything from this experience? Online school has definitely showed me that adapting to tough situations is a natural part of life. I’m glad I’m learning how to adapt; it’s better to have this skill now rather than when I am much older.

CONGRATULATIONS Caelan Thompson celebrates with friends upon hearing the news of his acceptance into law school.
