Meeting Recap:
Hello OUTlaw folks!
Here's a brief recap of today's meeting, in case you missed it or forgot aspects of it in the midst of your memo/OCIP/etc stress. If you have any questions about the meeting, or if there's anything else you'd like to talk about, please reply to this email or stop by the OUTlaw office in Room 2404 between 10am and noon this Friday.
Admissions Committee : Abbi described the great work the Admissions Committee does in contacting prospective students to tell them how wonderful it is to be queer at UCLA Law, and helping to welcome admitted students in the spring. If you're interested in helping out with recruiting, as Abbi likes to call it, email Abbi at coursolle2008@lawnet.ucla.edu.
Academic/Career Committee: Shayla talked about all of the wonderful resources and events organized by the Academic/Career Committee, including the employer list that went out earlier this fall, the Don't Ask/Don't Tell viral marketing/teaser campaign next week, and the Queer Career Panel in the spring. If you want to get involved, email Shayla at myers2008@lawnet.ucla.edu.
Social Committee: Kevin, Kelly, and Victoria told us about all of the fun they've been planning for us, including Queer Bar Review on 9/27 and a queer movie night at Ryan's palatial apartment in October. If coming up with fun ideas and helping to make the fun happen sounds like fun, email Kevin at minnick2008@lawnet.ucla.edu, Kelly at perigoe2009@lawnet.ucla.edu, or Victoria at don2009@lawnet.ucla.edu.
Tech/Community: Jordan filled us all in on the community-building efforts he's been working on, including the OUTlaw facebook group, the queer mentoring program, and an email listserv for social events (coming soon). If you're interested in helping out or learning more, email Jordan at woods2009@lawnet.ucla.edu.
Outline Bank: Lisa maintains the OUTlaw outline database. Thanks Lisa! More information about this will come later in the semester.
