"[A]dvocate for issues that matter to you and your community. The journey may be challenging, and you may often feel like you are spinning your wheels, but stay focused on your goals." In honor of Native American Heritage Month, we're proud to feature a profile of appellate superstar Stacy Leeds, Dean of Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University. We've shared just one excerpt of Dean Leeds's reflections below, but you can read all of her responses on the Our Community page: https://lnkd.in/eXQ4jgci Q: What advice would you give to a law student of color who aspires to be where you are now? A: Be true to yourself and don’t try to change who you are to meet unrealistic external expectations. Your background and experiences are your greatest strengths and your unique perspectives will be at a premium at some point of your career. Most importantly, advocate for issues that matter to you and your community. The journey may be challenging, and you may often feel like you are spinning your wheels, but stay focused on your goals. A wise mentor once told me something that has proven true so many times. 'You can’t always control the timing of opportunities, but you can absolutely control how prepared you will be when that opportunity comes.' #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth #NativeAmericans #AppellateLinkedIn #lawschool
