>> Well. Rutgers has been successful.
It has made me successful in a lot of ways.
So I mean, I guess it started when I was here at Rutgers.
People that were really encouraging of me doing different types of work
and even though I didn't know necessarily what I wanted to do.
I had professors who are willing to sit down with me and talk about law school,
when that was something that I wanted to consider.
And I think that I have a lot of different mentors along the way who are from Rutgers,
Rutgers professors, Rutgers peers, people who've graduated a few years before me.
And then even people who have graduated a few years after me.
I feel like because Rutgers is such a big school.
It's actually great to be in New Jersey and, you know, last night was, you know,
the Rutgers Louisville game that everybody, you know, in the courthouse was talking about.
So it's great to be in a place where people are 20, 30 years, my senior and our Rutgers grads.
And they know that I went to Rutgers.
And so it's been really helpful in helping me develop contacts
and just being able to nurture my network.
Because when people hear that you're from Rutgers, and if they're from Rutgers,
they're willing to help you out and maybe give you, you know, an extra leg up if you're,
you know, if you're competing with something,
they'll give you the extra eye, you know, and help you out.
