Danielle Foster, Vice President, Student Bar Association
On behalf of the SW Student Bar Association (SBA) I would like to say: welcome to all of the new 1L students, and welcome back to all returning students. I hope everyone is as excited as I am about the 2009-2010 academic year. The SBA is committed to ensuring that the student body has a successful and enjoyable experience here at SW, and we each look forward to meeting and talking with all of you.
To boost SW’s professionalism, the SBA is proud to announce that we are planning to provide a suit closet in which students may store business attire for those times when you forgot about a school event and all you have to wear is ripped jeans and flip-flops — it happens… often.
Further, to kick off Public Interest Week, SBA is hosting our first Casino Night. We anticipate this will be a big night out where students will have the opportunity to play poker against their professors and mingle with friends, all while raising money for the Public Interest Law Committee. Also, the SBA has been donated several copies of various hornbooks, Examples & Explanations, and Emmanuel Outlines for 1L and bar courses. To aid students in saving some cash, we plan to make these available for check out to the student body.
Wow, what a great year this is going to be! Please stop by our office and say hello and if you are interested in becoming involved in the SBA this year. We will hold an information session on Sept. 2. We need energetic, responsible students to help us run all of these events over the next year.
We have a ton of fun and exciting student activities coming up and we look forward to seeing each and every one of you at the bar reviews, on-campus events, Barrister’s Ball, alumni mixers, community events, cultural food fairs, and much, much more.
Our office is located on the second floor of the Westmoreland building, room W232. Please stop by any time and meet the executive board and directors, ask any questions, or just hang out if you would like. See you around.
