FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY NEWS — When students start law school, they have to adapt to a new form of learning, grading, studying, networking — everything. Rigorous demands combined with students’ high expectations for themselves often lead students to put their own health and well-being on the backburner. The habit could lead not only to serious setbacks in the program or the profession but to long-term health issues. FIU Law is tackling the problem. In 2020, the college launched Well-being at FIU Law to provide strategies that help students engage with the various dimensions of well-being, including the intellectual, physical, spiritual, social and emotional dimensions. The budding program has quickly made strides in helping students and has already developed a strong group of student advocates who feel indebted to the program for helping them stay in law school and setting up habits that will help them thrive in a profession riddled with stress and high-pressure situations. For these efforts, the American Bar Association in August of 2021 honored FIU Law’s well-being program with its 2021 E. Smythe Gambrell Professionalism Award. The award recognizes the nation’s exemplary, innovative and ongoing professionalism programs established by law schools, bar associations and other legal organizations that help ensure the maintenance of integrity and dedication to the legal profession.
