Music Practice Rooms<br />
Contact: Maryellen Sloat, Office Assistant<br />
A limited number of music practice rooms are available in Darte Hall. These rooms are<br />
generally reserved for those students participating in ensembles or taking private music<br />
instruction from University or conservatory faculty. Because of the heavy enrollment in<br />
these courses the University is unable to make these rooms available to students who<br />
are not enrolled in these curricular offerings.<br />
Other students should contact the secretary for the Division of Performing Arts<br />
Department.<br />
Students eligible to use these rooms are assigned a key for the practice room through the<br />
Division of Performing Arts. Since more than one student is assigned to a practice room<br />
it is expected that students will cooperate and work out compatible practice times.<br />
Failure to return the key to the practice room at the conclusion of the semester will<br />
result in the assessment of a fine and an account hold being placed that precludes the<br />
release of the official transcript of the work done at the University.<br />
Pre-Law Advising<br />
Contact: Kyle Kreider, Ph.D., Associate Professor<br />
There is no pre-law major at Wilkes because law schools do not require (or even<br />
recommend) any particular major. What law schools do recommend is a strong liberal<br />
arts curriculum including courses that require writing and analytical skills. Many of the<br />
types of courses that law schools look for are already required as part of the general<br />
education curriculum at Wilkes, courses such as English composition, philosophy,<br />
political science, and other social sciences.<br />
In order to be well prepared for law school, we recommend that you go beyond the<br />
requirements of the general education curriculum and take additional courses that will<br />
help you develop writing and analytical skills. In addition, we recommend that you take<br />
at least one course in logic and/or rhetoric by the end of your junior year. Your academic<br />
advisor, in conjunction with your pre-law advisor, will be able to help you select an<br />
appropriate curriculum.<br />
You should make an appointment to see a University pre-law advisor at Wilkes some<br />
time during your freshman year and stay in touch with the him/her periodically<br />
throughout your years at Wilkes. The pre-law advisor is a good source of information<br />
and advice about law school. Staying in touch with your pre-law advisor and joining the<br />
pre-law club will help you stay informed about pre-law events at Wilkes, including visits<br />
by law school Admissions Officers, visits to law schools and other law-related activities.<br />
Dr. Kyle L. Kreider is the University’s Coordinating Pre-Law Advisor and can be reached<br />
