As the Director of Pre-Professional Advising, Molly leads two dynamic units – the Center for Pre-Health Advising (CPHA) and Center for Pre-Law Advising (CPLA) – providing specialized support available to all UW-Madison undergraduates and alumni interested in exploring and preparing for careers in health and law. The primary focus and advising expertise of these units is on academic/experiential preparation and application processes for nation-wide graduate-level health programs and law schools. CPHA and CPLA support students and alumni from all UW-Madison schools, colleges, and majors, actively collaborating with colleagues to create a cross-campus support network dedicated to ensuring our shared advisees have the necessary resources to confirm and pursue their academic and career goals.
All the staff in Pre-Professional Advising are happy to hear directly from colleagues and students! We also encourage anyone with questions about Pre-Health or Pre-Law to reach out to us at either questions@prehealth.wisc.edu or information@prelaw.wisc.edu. Both of these inboxes are regularly monitored and you can expect a response within 48 hours from Monday to Friday. We also have robust websites to help you and your students navigate these complex paths at www.prehealth.wisc.edu and www.prelaw.wisc.edu.
