Food for Fines Drive Nov. 17-Dec. 7

Did you return a book a little late? Forgot what time your laptop was due? Your chance to pay off those charges and help a good cause begins Monday, Nov. 17. University Libraries and the Law Library will sponsor their semiannual Food for Fines drive for the Akron-Canton Food Bank.

You can bring in nonperishable food items to pay for your fines. One food item equals one dollar toward your fines, and there is no limit on the number of items you may bring in. This offer cannot be used to pay for billed or lost items.

Through Dec. 7, you may drop off the food donations at the Circulation desk in the Law Library.

Here is a list of the most needed food items.

Reminder! Graduating in December or May? Sign Up for a FREE Photo Sitting!

MAY GRADUATE CANDIDATES: This is your opportunity to be photographed for the class composite photo. There is not a second photo shoot in the Spring. Please sign up for this opportunity ASAP!

—

Photo sessions of graduating candidate students for the 2015 Class Composite will be taken in room 166 of the Law School on:

Tuesday, November 11
Wednesday, November 12 and
Thursday, November 13  

Sign up for a time slot of your choice no later than Monday, November 10th. Please stop by the Dean’s Office front desk to sign up. Photo sessions are scheduled in 5-minute intervals. We hope every member of the class will be pictured in the composite!

There is no cost for participating in this class composite and I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity. You will be required to choose one proof for the Class Composite. I will provide you with a digital copy of all the proofs and instructions will be given to notify me of your chosen proof number for the composite photo. A full-size digital file of the proof you choose will be yours to keep. If you wish to order a copy of the Class Composite, you may bring a check made payable to The University of Akron in the amount of $30 at the time of your sitting, or you may order a copy of the Class Composite at a later date through my office.

PLEASE NOTE:

  • Sign up by November 10th. Please be prompt for your photo session, scheduled in 5-minute intervals.
  • It is required that you wear a dark (Navy, Black, Dark Grey, Dark Brown) suit for a professional appearance and a coordinated look for your Class Composite Photo. 

Please sign up as soon as possible – NO LATER THAN November 10th.

Thank You,

Anthony Colucci,
Assistant Director, Business Operations and Facilities

Urgent – Complete Spring Registration to Avoid Possible Class Cancellations

The University administration is closely scrutinizing all classes and may require us to cancel those with law enrollments (generally, fewer than 10 students).  In order to avoid unnecessary cancellations and to assure that you are able to take the classes you need, we urge you to complete registration by the end of Thanksgiving weekend.  If you have any questions about what courses you should take, please contact Associate Dean Jordan or Student Services Director Banks.

Please be careful and protect your belongings

We would like to remind law students to never leave your valuables alone anywhere in the School of Law. Your textbooks, book bags, purses, laptops and other belongings can be easily taken in just “30 seconds.”

We welcome visitors to the School of Law and to the Law Library, both those associated with the University and those who are not. Having open doors, however, also means anyone can come into the building. It would be wise to always be careful and make it a habit to never leave your belongings unattended.

If you see suspicious behavior, please notify law school employees right away. You can call the University police yourself by dialing 330-972-2911 (if using a cell phone) or 911 if using a campus phone.

More information about campus safety is found here.
Thank you.
