Penn State doctoral student ML Brown has earned a coveted spot in a national program designed to prepare future law school students. Brown, a candidate in special education, was selected for the Law School Admission Council’s PLUS Guided Journey Program.

This highly competitive initiative provides structured support and resources to individuals navigating the path to law school. Brown intends to pursue a Juris Doctor degree following the completion of her doctorate in 2027, with a clear vision for integrating both fields of expertise.

Her goal is to leverage the combined power of education and law to advocate for systemic change. Brown aims to directly influence and shape public policy, focusing on breaking down barriers and significantly expanding access to quality education for students with disabilities. She views the dual degrees as essential tools for creating more equitable and inclusive learning environments nationwide.
