Faculty-Student Mixers

Dear WSU Law School Students:

I am pleased to announce we are continuing our tradition of faculty- student Mixers. Beginning in 2004, these faculty-student Mixers were initially with a generous gift from the Benard Maas Foundation. This year, the Izumi Family Fund has taken over fiscal responsibility for the Mixers. We have plans for three events during the academic year, bringing together faculty and students informally and creating a sense of community.

Please join us for our first Izumi Mixer for 2006-2007 from 6 pm to 8 pm, Wednesday, November 15, in the Barris Lounge. Professors Linda Beale, Erica Beecher-Monas, and Susan Evans Cancelosi will host an informal get-together with food, drink and poker for all. They asked me to ensure students are advised: “Don’t be shy if you don’t already play poker--the less experience the better. We’ll have a very brief review of the basic rules (including, of course, Texas Hold’em), and then divide into tables to play a few fun games. We’ll provide sets of cards and wrapped candies for poker chips (winners, of course, may consume their winnings). We expect lots of laughs as we see who has the best poker face! You may even be caught on candid camera . . .”

Everyone who has attended these Mixers in the past has enjoyed them immensely, and I hope you will join us for this first Mixer of the new academic year.
