The 69th Western Reserve District 5 Science Day will be held at The University of Akron, on Saturday, March 18, 2017 in the Student Union. Please consider being a judge for this year’s event!

Middle school and high school students must receive a superior at their local fair to participate in the District Science Day. We are planning on having over 300 participants.

The categories include: behavioral & social science, biochemistry, botany, chemistry, computer science, earth & space science, engineering & technological design, environmental science, mathematics, medicine & health, microbiology, physics, and zoology.

Judges should arrive at the Student Union at The University of Akron at 7:45am and will be leaving after a complimentary lunch around 1:00pm.

Our next free Certificate of Qualification for Employment (CQE) clinic is Saturday, March 11, 2017!  We’re very excited to be providing opportunities for ex-offenders in Summit County to take a step toward gaining employment and independence!

We are looking for students to volunteer from 8:30am-12:45pm on Saturday, March 11 2017.  The clinic will be held at The Chapel [135 S Fir Hill St., Akron, OH 44304]. The time you volunteer can be applied toward your graduation requirement as pro bono limited means hours.

There will be a mandatory volunteer training on Friday, March 10, 2017 from 4:30-6:00pm for first timers. Location of the training will be announced the week of the clinic. The time you are at training will count towards your pro bono limited means hours as well. For those who have completed the training once before, you are more than welcome to attend the training for a refresher. However, you may not count the training towards your pro bono limited means hours again.

If you’re interested in volunteering or have any questions, please e-mail Brittany at bfw7@zips.uakron.edu. You can also learn more about the clinic at our website: http://www.uakron.edu/law/clinical/cqe-clinic.dot.
