Gadsden State Paralegal Association

Another semester and another Graduation! I will definitely miss all of these students, but I can't wait to see their impact on the legal profession.

Full day of class and Homecoming activities!

It is Spirit Week! Today we venture back to the late 60's and 70's. Too bad I don't still have my macrame belt and decoupage purse! Don't forget to stop by our Business Division Sweets table at the Tailgate party on Monday before the Homecoming games.

Congratulations to our 2023 Fall Paralegal Graduates! Pictures were limited due to some major traffic issues, but we all made it!
