In the month of May, Options is offering two FREE events aimed at our students currently attending university.
Remember, we are here to help students already attending university, whether it with course planning, choosing a major, completing a study abroad or coop application, or thinking about your future. Our graduate, law, medical, and educational consultants are here to help.
Making the most of your undergraduate degree
Tuesday, May 25th, 2021, 6-7 PM (virtual webinar)
It’s never too early in your undergraduate degree to start thinking about life after graduation. In addition to studying hard to keep your grades up, there are a few things that you should do to make the most of your undergraduate degree and ensure that you have the most options possible for your next steps. Join us for a discussion with our Graduate School Consultant, Dr. Brianne Kent, to hear what graduate school programs look for in their applicants.
Dr. Kent is a professor at Simon Fraser University and trained as a neuroscientist at Yale University, University of Cambridge, University of British Columbia, and Harvard Medical School. She has worked as an education consultant for almost 10 years, helping hundreds of students prepare competitive applications for their dream programs. At Options Solutions, Dr. Kent helps students choose which graduate programs to apply to and advises students on how to prepare the strongest applications for acceptance and funding. She also assists with editing curricula vitae and personal statements, as well as preparing for interviews. Dr. Kent will provide some of her best advice to undergraduate students, which will be followed by an open Q&A session.

Thinking About Law School?
Thursday, May 27th, 2021, 6-7 PM (virtual webinar)
If you are thinking about law school – and becoming a lawyer – after your undergraduate studies, we can help with the road ahead: the pros (and cons) of a career in law, where to attend law school, the law school admission process, and searching for an articling position after law school. There is a lot to consider. Our Law School Consultant, Kerry Sheppard, will host an interactive discussion of topics relating to the journey from your undergraduate studies to the practice of law.
Kerry attended the University of Victoria for his undergraduate studies (BA, 1983) and for law school (LLB, 1986), and he was called to the Bar in British Columbia in 1987. In his many years as a lawyer, Kerry practiced as a solicitor and as a litigator, and he was in-house counsel with both The Law Society of BC and the Office of the Public Guardian & Trustee. He was also, for nine years, the Director of Student Programs for a large international law firm and, in that role, he reviewed approximately 4,500 resumes and conducted more than 1,500 student interviews. Kerry has been Options Solutions’ Law School Consultant since 2015, and he works with undergraduate students seeking admission to law school, and with current law students seeking articling positions following completion of law school.
