Next Week in LCS - September 2, 2011

**PLEASE NOTE: Law Career Services is closing at 3 p.m. on Friday, and will reopen at 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday for the Labor Day holiday. Enjoy the long weekend!

Would you like to begin the year with an easy way to make an impact? You can help shape LCS programming by becoming an LCS Ambassador! We're looking for positive and proactive law students to provide us with feedback from the student body as well as supplement the work of the SBA Career Services Liaison. Additional details and applications can be found in the Symplicity Document Library and are due on Friday, September 2, 2011.

FERP Update! The major changes to the FERP process are detailed in the FERP Announcements in Symplicity, with the FAQ document supplementing process information and the FERP Orientation Video. Employers continue to contact us to add interview dates, which require new sessions to be added, so check back frequently.

Resume Collect Deadlines! Many employers have requested materials through Resume Collects, which are posted under the Job Postings in Symplicity.  As a reminder from the email you received earlier this week, there are 6 employers that have deadlines next week.

Ten Minute Advising is Back! If you have a question that can be answered quickly, stop by late afternoons during the semester to meet with an advisor.  Drop-in from 3:00-5:30 p.m. on most Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays with any questions that can be answered quickly.  For exact dates and times each week, please check the Symplicity calendar.

Next  Week's Calendar - check out Symplicity, the College of Law, and local bar association calendars for more events, training opportunities, and deadlines.
