To support our graduates through this season, Assistant Dean Liz Johnson created a Bar Study Journal designed to complement bar study. With 11 weeks of pages to journal, write, draw, doodle, or tear out, the journal includes weekly and daily reflection pages, planning pages, and a little inspiration along the way.
For our grads using the journal: what is your favorite page so far?
