Hello everyone, and welcome back to the show that never ends.
You may have noticed some physical changes around school. We leave it up to you to determine if they are improvements.
We have new tables for outdoor escapades. By escapades, we were thinking eating, drinking, meeting and the like. We’re supposed to also remind you that university regulations prohibit smoking within 25 feet of building entrances/exits. We again leave it to you to do the math.
The tables were a gift from SBA to former Dean of Students Barb Watts, who’d always wanted students to have a place for outdoor escapades. She loved the tables, and a special thank you goes to Law Women and the Public Interest Law Group for allowing some of their SBA budgets to be used towards this project. (apologies for the overuse of “escapades”, it really is an all-encompassing word.)
We also have a new Rec Room in room 112 on the first floor. Room 112 had been used for storage. But thanks to the efforts of students and staff alike, we completely cleaned out the room and reclaimed it. There’s a ping pong table and a foosball table in there currently. Look for improvements within the week. We certainly welcome suggestions. We’ll be adding a dart board at the very least. The room is currently open for student use, feel free to swing by any time and enjoy what’s in there so far.
Hopefully within the week, there will also be improvements to the Student Activities Lounge in 117. We’ve already added a donated couch, and the old ones will be cleaned and washed. We’re also hoping to add some coffee machines with coffee for students to make whenever we want. Be on the lookout for that soon as well.
We’re also developing a cultural program for students, and a campus events committee to better publicize events on campus (intramurals, speakers, sporting events, etc.) Look for notes on both in the weeks to come.
We also bought a really nice grill for student use, and will be breaking it out THIS THURSDAY in honor of UC’s first home football game starting around 430. Feel free to stop by and enjoy some burgers and dogs before the football game, or before you attend the Law Dems Convention Watch party at Mac’s. I think we’re out of veggie burgers, so if you want some, you have to bring your own.
The first SBA meeting takes place THIS FRIDAY at 1230 in room 114. The agenda for that meeting will follow in an email later tonight. All are welcomed to attend. Lunch will be provided. Additionally, every SBA meeting for the entire year is listed in your planners, and will be listed on the calendar on www.uclawsba.com and on SBA’s hard calendar to be posted on the board between 100A and 100B.
The first social events are this Friday. Separate email to follow.
If you have ANY questions, comments, problems, concerns, please let us know.
Thanks everyone! Welcome back!
University of Cincinnati College of Law is the fourth oldest continually running law school in the United States and a founding member of the Association of American Law Schools. It was started in 1833 as the Cincinnati Law School. Then-dean and future 27th President of the United States, William Howard Taft (1880), merged it with the University of Cincinnati in 1896.
