Ryan E. Cox

"The past three years have been a period of tremendous growth for me—personally and professionally. I know that my experience would not have been the same without having dedicated educators like Dean Laughlin, Professor Ashley, and Dean Lyon to lead me and our class through the morass of law school. I am equally thankful for my friends and family who have made the experience as pleasant and positive as possible."
