The current COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the significance of healthcare and legal practitioners in society. To increase the number of professionals in these fields, the Pre-Health\/Pre-Law Advising Center<\/a> (PAC<\/abbr>) at the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at M\u0101noa<\/a> is offering its semester workshop series virtually, from September to November, to reach as many college students and alumni as possible to help them explore legal and health professions.<\/p>\n

These events are aimed to provide attendees with information in order to be accepted into law and health professional schools and in fields where there is extremely high need. <\/p>\n

PAC<\/abbr> will be holding virtual workshops on Zoom<\/a> on various topics including orientations, career exploration, engagement opportunities and professional school application preparation.<\/p>\n
