Congratulations to our student spotlight, Elvin Ortiz-Figueroa! Dr. Shaub said that Elvin is doing a great job at the legal office! He's an asset to the Legal Administrative Assistants, paralegals, and attorneys. He is responsible for filing legal documents, scanning, and client interactions at the front desk. He is able to use the information he learned in class on the job. Elvin has a quiet reserve but a great sense of humor! Way to go, Elvin! We are proud of you.
