UNT Dallas COL Welcomes Katie Powley as Assistant Director of Admissions

June 20, 2023 Dallas – UNT Dallas College of Law welcomes Katie Powley as the Assistant Director of Admissions.  Ms. Powley, a proud UNTDCOL alumna, graduated in 2021.  Before joining the Office of Admissions, she served as a Legal Nurse Consultant at Mellon, Pries, Kowalski, LLC in Troy, Michigan and The Clinesmith Firm in Dallas, Texas.

Ms. Powley considers her alma mater a special law program that grants uncommon opportunities at great value.  “UNT Dallas College of Law offers an ABA-accredited legal education with tuition within reach for North Texans.
