Appreciation Week: Thank You Note Writing Campaign TODAY in Cox Lounge

Fri, 04/05/2013 - 12:04
div class=contentpMonday, April 8 is the first day of the Law School’s Appreciation Week, an opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments of our students, faculty, and staff, and to thank those who have supported the law school.  /ppOn Monday, all students are invited to the Cox Faculty Lounge between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. to write a personal thank you note to a law school donor.  A second session will be offered on Tuesday, April 9, from 1:00 to 3:00.  If you are a scholarship recipient, moot court competitor, or student leader, you are required to be at one of the events or to make other arrangements with Dean Ballard.  /ppThe Law School will provide everything you need (note cards, envelopes, pens, sample thank you notes), and will take care of postage and mailing.  We’ll even provide the contact information and donor information for your particular scholarship so you can thank your donor personally.  Supporters of the law school will enjoy hearing from you and learning that their donations are being put to excellent use.  /ppWe hope this will be an annual tradition at the Law School.  Help us make this inaugural event a success by expressing your written appreciation to the supporters of our law school.  /p/div
