Gabriella Rodrigues: Sarah Metrick Scholarship in Introductory Law recipient

Meet Gabriella Rodrigues! Originally from Ottawa, Gabriella is pursuing an Honours BA in Law and Journalism. Gabriella is one of this year’s recipients of the Sarah Metrick Scholarship in Introductory Law.

What lead you to decide to pursue your BA at Carleton? I wanted to set a path to law school where I could develop different skills and experiences- Carleton allowed me to do that by letting me easily pursue a double major in Law (which allows me to develop critical thinking skills) and in journalism (which allows me to develop communication skills.)

Do you have a favourite part of your program? My favourite course was LAWS 2302 (Criminal Law) with Michael Smith. 

What are you hoping to do after graduation? I’m hoping to attend Law school with all of the knowledge and skills I have and will continue to gain at Carleton!

Any advice for incoming students? Prioritize academics but also participate in as much as possible! I myself am the president of a club here at Carleton (Her Campus Carleton) going on two years now and I have gained so much from that experience.
