The Office of External Programs is coordinating an alumni tailgate for the ZIPS/Syracuse game on September 4. The tailgate begins at 4 p.m. and kickoff is 6 p.m. Students (our “alums-in-waiting”) are welcome to join with alumni at this event. The price for alumni and their families and friends is $25/person ($20 for a reserved seat ticket and $5 for the tailgate which includes food from Rockne’s, pop and water). There will be no alcohol at this event. Students may either (1) pay $25/person to ensure seating with alumni in a reserved section, or (2) pay $5/person for food only as students receive free general admission to games in the student sections. SBA is collecting responses and reservations may be made through SBA President JJ Hammerle (jjhammerle@gmail.com). Deadline for ordering tickets is noon on Monday, August 30. Reservations may be made by check, cash, or credit card (MasterCard, VISA, Discover). Checks may be made payable to The University of Akron School of Law.
