Over the course of the next two days, Rubber City Productions Film Company will be at the law school gathering b-roll footage for our website. They will not be entering classrooms (with a couple of pre-arranged exceptions), but they will be filming in the other common areas of the law school. We don’t expect this to cause any disruption in daily law school activities, but wanted everyone to be aware that filming will be taking place.
Please feel free to contact Adam Messner (apm@uakron.edu) or Diana Vickers (diana@uakron.edu) with any questions.
