Dear Students:

We are in the final stages of hiring a Director of Admissions and Financial Aid.    The hiring committee screened over 60 applications for the position and conducted initial interviews of nearly 10 candidates.   We have narrowed the pool down to four finalists, and have invited them to campus next week.

Given the importance of this position to the law school community, we would like to all students with an opportunity to meet the candidates and provide feedback.  As such, we have asked each candidate to give a short presentation/Q&A session (30 minutes) about how s/he would recruit students to the University of Akron School of Law.  To the extent that you are interested in making your voice heard,  we invite you to attend these events.  The schedule is as follows:
