Fourteen Years at Scalia Law School
Today marks my fourteenth anniversary with Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University. One of the major changes of last year was launching a brand new website and switching to a new content management system. Nevertheless, my role hasn’t changed much. I am still responsible for the law school websites.
In my fourteen years at the law school, I worked under two supervisors and three deans. The current dean will conclude his term in the summer of 2026. My supervisor will also retire around the same time. I don’t know what the future will hold. I’ll just have to go with the flow.
I am grateful that I am still here making ends meet to raise my family. I am comfortable and content with my career choice. I still enjoy the work and the people I work with everyday. I appreciate the flexibility—thanks to my boss. As long as I take care of my responsibilities, I can do other things such as teaching snowboarding in the winter. I occasionally do creative work outside the law school. I only take on small projects that I wanted to do. Having that option is a privilege.
It’s hard to believe I will reach a decade and a half next year. Maybe I will make it to 2 decades and then retire. Who knows. For now, I am thankful that I still have a job while the government is in a shutdown. I can’t ask for more than that.
