ONEelevate is a highly selective leadership training program for Vanderbilt 1Ls. Students will be selected based on demonstrated leadership potential as well as lived experience overcoming adversity (i.e. first generation to attend college, or other significant life challenges). The program aims to:
- provide a collaborative learning experience in law school and beyond,
- promote a culture of diverse leadership,
- remove barriers to success, and
- teach skills necessary to become active leaders in the law school and legal profession.
Each year, the program selects a cohort of ten first-year students. Selected students are each matched with two mentors: a current 2L or 3L student and a prominent local attorney or judge.
