Pick-up Basketball Game
Will Gebo (1L) has kindly volunteered himself as the “go to” person in organizing group basketball for other students. He and others already have a standing practice to play every week, typically on Thursdays and Fridays. If anyone would like to play basketball, contact Will. The YMCA did okay them using the gymnasium as long as the schedule allows.
New Wellness Room at the Law School!
Room 432 (on the North side of the Reading Room) has been transformed into a multipurpose Wellness Room. Stop by and check out the new look! Yoga mats and a television will soon be available for use. We encourage students to use this area for group activities and wellness events. More details to follow!
