When Lisa Mead ’89 volunteered to accompany<br />
37 <strong>USC</strong> <strong>Law</strong> students to hurricane-ravaged Gulf Coast<br />
in March, she didn’t know what her role would be.<br />
Would she be the students’ teacher, adviser,<br />
counselor or simply an observer?<br />
As it turned out, Mead was a little <strong>of</strong> each.<br />
“It was a powerful experience, and I’m so glad I was<br />
able to make the trip,” says Mead, associate dean <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>USC</strong> <strong>Law</strong>’s new Office <strong>of</strong> Public Service, launched in<br />
January to expand student opportunities for pro bono<br />
legal work, internships and service-learning programs.<br />
“I wanted them to know I was there for them and that<br />
they could come to me if they needed anything.”<br />
Katie Stehle, Kyle Kinkead and Andrew C<strong>of</strong>fin (pictured right)<br />
spent their spring break providing legal help to Gulf Coast residents.
