WELCOME BACK!!

2009-08-15T16:03:00.000-07:00

Hello Everyone!!

Welcome back! I hope everyone has enjoyed their summer and is ready for another semester. With the anticipation of our graduation, also comes the anxiety of incoming 1Ls! With the new semester fast approaching, the Law Center is hosting an Organization Day where each organization gets to showcase exactly what they are all about.

Organization Day is August 20, 2009 at noon. It is a perfect time to come and check out APALSA and to find out more about our events and what we have store for this semester.

At our table, we will have food from the Philippines, which boasts many tasteful dishes. Specifically, APALSA will have Pancit, a very traditional dish that is made for special occasions and it is also said to bring luck! We will also have a pan of egg rolls, pronounced Lumpia in Tagalog (Pilippines' National Language).

We hope you are excited to learn about our organization and try some tasty food!! We look forward to seeing all there August 20!!
