SBA – Public Interest Fellowship Auction, Jan. 22, 5:30, Student Union
Once again it is time to prepare for the Annual Public Interest Fellowship Auction. This year’s auction will be held on Saturday, January 22, 2011 from 5:30pm to 9:30pm in the University of Akron’s Student Union. Mark your calendars! The auction is a fun event sponsored by the Student Bar Association to raise money for the Public Interest Fellowship Scholarship Fund. Our goal is to raise funds for students to receive small stipends to work in non-profit or public settings where they would not normally be paid.
If you are interested in making a donation, would like to participate in any way, please contact me or any other member of the Student Bar Association Executive Board. Any donation or help in preparing the event would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your generosity and support—we could not do this without you!
