About Me

I started this blog as a way of building an online community of current and past Ivy Tech paralegal students, as well as letting people interested in our program know what we're up to. This blog is not sponsored by Ivy Tech. No way, no how.

My name is Linda Kampe, and I'm the program chair of Paralegal Studies in Lafayette, Indiana. My office is in Ivy Hall 1166. Stop by and chat. For best results, make an appointment, so I know to expect you. And if you bring your own cup, I'll make you tea. Because hey, we're not animals.

Alumni--Stay in touch!

I often get calls from attorneys looking for recent--or not-so-recent--graduates of our program to work in their offices. I am working hard at convincing the local attorneys of the advantages of hiring current students part-time and training them while they complete their education, but these things take time.

In any event, it's great that our alums have acquired such a good reputation that attorneys think of turning here first. I'm looking forward to working with all of you to keep that reputation up!

In the meantime, if you are an alumnus looking for a job, or if you know of someone who is, please send them my way. I know people who are looking for you.

Just because you've graduated doesn't mean you're not still part of the family.

Tenants' Rights Workshops

I just got this flyer from Legal Aid. These are FREE tenants' rights workshops being hosted at various locations around Lafayette. Great information for yourself or your friends, perhaps; a chance to learn about landlord-tenant law; and an opportunity to schmooze with attorneys.
