Meet MWLN Scholar
Kelsey Dickman of Abingdon, Md., is a freshman psychology major with a pre-law track, and a member of the women’s outdoor track and field team.

Why the interest in law?

“I enjoy a spirited argument and that seems a big part in the practice of law.”

Kelsey says the MWLN scholarship was the deciding factor in choosing McDaniel. She has joined the MWLN Advisory Council and finds that it’s “an inspiration to be in a room with such successful, powerful women.”
