The Akron Federalist Society welcomes all University of Akron students to join our first general body meeting of the semester. At the meeting, we will discuss what the Federalist Society is and what events we have planned for this semester. We will re-introduce this year’s board members and discuss the responsibilities of each position so that those who are interested may consider running for election in April. We will introduce our faculty advisors, Professor Mark Schultz and Judge Ryan Holte, who will share the Federalist Society experiences with us. And we will offer $15 DoorDash gift cards to those who join the org on RooConnect and FedSoc.org. We hope to see you there!
