Next Week in LCS

If you are unable to read the newsletter in your email, here's this week's dose of Career Service events, information, and more! Please note we're moving into summer operations, so this will be published on a biweekly basis!


Enjoy the long weekend! We're moving into the final exams/summer mode of operations, and thus beginning to only publish this every other week.  The next edition will publish on Friday, May 6th, so keep an eye on various calendars for upcoming events until then.

Law Day is Coming! This means that the Chicago Bar Association is sponsoring receptions, volunteer activities, and more -- all opportunities to take a study break and engage in networking. Many activities are right around the corner at the Chicago Bar Association, so check out their calendar today.  A handful of the many events have been mentioned in the LCS Blog as well.


Drop-In Advising: We enjoyed chatting with so many of you during Drop-In Advising this school year.  Next week will be the final Drop-In Advising sessions until next school year (Tuesdays, lunch hour from 12:15-1:00 p.m. & 5:00-5:45 p.m.  Keep an eye on this newsletter this summer for virtual drop-in advising opportunities through the University's new web-conferencing software.
