\"AlyssaTrinity Law School<\/a> student Alyssa Heagy, Master of Legal Studies in Nonprofits Organizations<\/a>\u2019 22, was named the executive director for Grand Island Area Habitat for Humanity<\/a>. Habitat for Humanity is an organization that is \u201cseeking to put God\u2019s love into action, by bringing people together to build homes, communities, and hope.\u201d Heagy\u2019s path to law school came after she was looking for a career change. Her experience working with nonprofits and studying pre-law in her undergraduate program drew her to begin the MLS program in Nonprofits and Religious Organizations.<\/p>\n

\u201cLooking back, I know it was God calling out to me, showing me my purpose and path. The 30 seconds it took to request information truly changed my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Heagy recounts the value of her Nonprofit Law class, \u201cProfessor Lisa Runquist<\/a>\u2019s knowledge and insight into the world of nonprofits has made it one of the greatest classes I have ever attended. Professor Runquist was able to take the complex world of nonprofit law and combine it with antidotes from actual cases, which highlighted the importance and reasoning behind the requirements and laws.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cTrinity has prepared me for my new job by offering knowledge that is not just found in the classroom.”<\/p>\n

\n

While Heagy is only part-way through her MLS program, her time at Trinity has already impacted her career. \u201cTrinity has prepared me for my new job by offering knowledge that is not just found in the classroom. On top of the comprehensive curriculum, I have met other students around the United States who share a similar passion for working with nonprofit and religious organizations. Their stories, advice, and understanding played a huge part in my ability to step into my new role.\u201d\u00a0 Trinity\u2019s Master of Legal Studies program has a variety of specializations, so students can gain a legal understanding of topics related to their field. We look forward to seeing the ways that God will use Heagy\u2019s gifts and talents in her new role at Habitat for Humanity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
