There is an upcoming opportunity for law students to participate in an immigration clinic focused on the new law passed earlier this year to help young adults who have lived in the US become citizens.  This clinic will take place on August 18^th at St. Augustine Towers from 8:30 am – 1:00 pm.  This is a great opportunity to work with immigration attorneys and learn a new area of the law.  If you are interested please let me know and I will send more detailed information.

 Thank you,

Zion Lutheran Church of Akron, in partnership with Building Hope in the City, is sponsoring a “Be the Church” day in Akron on Saturday, August 25th from 8-4. After gathering at Zion for registration, opening announcements, and a kick-off service, you will be given the opportunity to go and work at a number of different organizations in the downtown Akron area to serve according to your skills. Registration for the event is $15.00. You will receive a t-shirt and a boxed lunch. If you are interested, you may contact Pastor Schoon at Zion at 330-253-3136 or Building Hope in the City at 216-281-4673.

                This community service project is presented in partnership with Big Brothers and Sisters of Summit and Medina Counties as part of the BBBSMC’s after-school “Sidekicks” program.  This opportunity is available for upper level law students who are interested in mentoring an elementary school student in our community.  It will take place every Thursday afternoon from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Mason Elementary School, which is located only a short distance from the law school.  Volunteers will assist elementary school students in completing homework and will participate in group games, activities and other social interactions.   Because each volunteer will be assigned to a particular student, you must be able to attend the program each Thursday afternoon during the school year while classes are being held (attendance is not necessary during reading and exam periods or holidays).    

                If you are interested in participating in this program, please contact Professor Shaver at eas68@uakron.edu.  For more information about Big Brothers/Big Sisters, visit http:\\bbbssmc.org.
