Welcome
August 14, 2006
Dear Students:
I look forward to beginning the school year, and I wanted to write with my welcome to all of you. I envy you your opportunity to pursue higher education.
You are our most important stakeholders. Open communications are crucial. Throughout the year, Associate Dean David Moran and I expect to alternate in writing a column for the Advocate newspaper to ensure you are informed about the many positive developments at our law school. I also expect to begin blogging, and I will announce details as soon as possible. There are a few announcements I’d like to make meanwhile.
We have extended our wireless network beyond the library, to the classroom building and the second-floor seminar rooms. This wireless network is already fully operational. The Technology Committee is developing a policy for laptop exams, and we are selecting a software program to allow for this innovation. We expect implementation of the policy in the fall semester.
We will begin operations of the coffee cart, to be located on the first floor across from the Admissions Office, shortly after Labor Day. The coffee cart, a concept suggested by the Student Board of Governors, will greatly enhance our food services at the Law School. The Sidebar will be closed.
On September 19, at 6 p.m., I will hold the Annual Town Hall for all students. This is an opportunity for you to meet with the senior administrators of the Law School. I invite you and look forward to meeting.
Thank you very much.
