Hello!  Let me first promote my Dean's Forum that's coming up this Thursday, April 23rd at 11:00am in Room 105.  This is the second forum I've held this semester with the law students; one last time for you to visit with me before finals about anything that's on your mind.  I'm sure we're going to talk about economic conditions affecting the law school and how it affects planning and budgeting.  We have new faculty coming on board this fall, rolling out a new course schedule.  Perhaps you're interested in developments in career services.  I'm going to be there to answer any questions that you have, so please attend my forum this coming Thursday.

Hello.  As Dean I'm always looking for more and better ways to communicate with you about what's happening in the law school and the broader community. I also want to address issues that might be of a concern to you or issues that are being discussed among the faculty and staff. 

You already know to consult the website, The Connection, Symplicity, the hall monitors, Facebook, and Twitter for information about what's going on, so please continue to do so.  But I believe in paving the trail where people walk, so if you travel in the blogosphere, feel free to connect with me here and, where appropriate, I'll send a response back.

I wanted to spend a couple of minutes today congratulating law students who have done some exceptional things in the community.  Nkechi Eccles-James was one of three students in the entire university to be honored with the John Wesley Leadership and Service Award that will be awarded at the commencement dinner next month.
