ELS Pop Tab Campaign

The Environmental Law Society will again be collecting Pop Tabs for the Ronald McDonald House. All you have to do is deposit pop tabs in the collection can located in the Marshall Gallery now until the end of the semester. Help ELS continue to support this great cause while recycling. The Environmental Law Society would also like to thank all those that contributed to last semester and last year’s cell phone drive. The Crisis Center has been very appreciative of all our efforts. As they collect such phones all year round, do not hesitate to find an ELS Board member if you would still like to donate a cell phone that you did not have a chance to drop-off last semester. We will make sure it gets to the Crisis Center. More updates and activities to come this semester. Thanks everyone!!

To all students:
Earlier this week, you received letters describing the value and potential of pro bono service and the fact that the law school has now put into place the lawyer/student mentoring program discussed in that letter. Please submit your "pro bono interest forms" as soon as you can so we can plan for this Spring. Thanks.
