Environmental Law Society Seeks Interested Students

This is posted on behalf of Prof. Kalyani Robbins. Questions? Contact Prof. Robbins at kalyani@uakron.edu.

This year the Environmental Law Society lost its office-holding members, which has resulted in the group being somewhat in limbo. As the faculty advisor for the group I am not directly involved in its governance, but would like to step in at this critical juncture to assist in getting it back on its feet. If you are a member wondering what happened, or a student of any class year who would be interested in the group, please email me with your interest and I will arrange a meeting to get started and choose officers. It is not necessary to have taken an environmental course. Although you can join the group at any time, if you are interested in being invited to this initial meeting and having the opportunity to become an officer (or at least help choose them), please contact me by Monday September 27th at noon. I will then work with your schedules to arrange the meeting sometime that week. Thank you!
