History student and peer adviser prepares for future legal career

A fourth-year student majoring in history with an enhanced minor in sociology who intends to go to law school, Sebelin said his passion for history eventually led him and his “Pop” — his grandfather — to the Old Jail Museum in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. On the trip, Sebelin learned the story of a prisoner who had occupied cell No. 17: He had been condemned to the gallows and placed his handprint on the wall as proof of his innocence. The handprint remains there to this day.
