This Week in the Law School
Congratulations to Alex Rosselli, '19, who has been named an American Constitution Society Next Generation Leader! The ACS was highly impressed with Alex's engagement and strong leadership qualities. Alex was also one of only four students nationwide to be selected for the opportunity to interview for a student board position on the ACS National Board of Directors, which he'll do in June. Way to go, Alex!
We've got lots of events on the calendar this week: Donate much-needed blood to the Red Cross Tuesday afternoon. CIPR is launching a student chapter of ChIPs (Chiefs in Intellectual Property), an organization focused on advancing and connecting women in technology, law, and policy. The kickoff event takes place Wednesday, the same day Dean Parrish will host his spring town hall meeting. And on Friday morning Judge David Hamilton and alumni in judicial clerkships will host a panel on what it's like working in a judge's chambers. See below for RSVP details.
Have a great spring break! You've earned it. ILA will return on March 19.
