\u00fc <\/span><\/span>It takes 2 minutes to do\u2014tops.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00fc <\/span><\/span>It shows you expect main campus to help our law school, <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b>and that we want more<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

involvement and allocation of main campus resources.<\/p>\n

\u00fc <\/span><\/span>It is important both now and later, <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b>since <\/span><\/span><\/span>I will work with the incoming President to<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

enforce legislation that benefits our law school.<\/p>\n

\u00fc <\/span><\/span>It is a strong way to \u201cbridge the gap\u201d between \u201cus\u201d and \u201cthem,\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b>by showing law<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

students <\/span><\/span><\/span>should be more incorporated into the larger inter-campus community and<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

general spirit of The University of Memphis.<\/p>\n
