The APALSA Board is very excited for the new academic year!  We would like to invite you all to some of our upcoming events:

1. We will be having our annual welcome dinner at Sang Kee this Saturday (September 19) at 6:30PM. It was a ton of fun last year as we had an open bar, a banquet style dinner and got to meet lots of APALSA members. RSVP to yoonjeekim@law.upenn.edu.

2. We will also be looking for 1ls and LLMs to join us as representatives on our board. This is your chance to get a little bit more involved in APALSA, bring ideas to the board and did I mention dinner meetings? Applications will be due on September 30th.

3. Our first general meeting of the year will be on Wednesday, Sept 23rd at 6:30PM.  We will serve some yummy dinner.

4. APALSA Families–in the past we’ve paired 1Ls to upperclassmen mentors, but this year, we’re going to go a step further and make quartets of 2 mentors to 2 mentees so email Yoonjee (yoonjee@gmail.com) if you’re interested in getting not one, but TWO APALSA mentees (aka resource for outlines, advice, support, etc.)

5.  The International Programs Reception is tomorrow (Wed.( in the Levy Conference Center.  Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres will be served.  Dress is casual (whatever you would wear to class is fine).  At this event, several international student groups will speak, as well as Professor Eric Feldman, Vice Dean of International Programs here at Penn Law and Amy Gadsden our Associate Dean for International Programs.

We look forward to seeing you all at dinner this Saturday!  Please do not hesitate to email me or any other board member if you have any questions.
