NEW SPEAKER!!!

Good morning.  I'm excited to announce a new opportunity for interested Pre-Law Association and Pre-Law Students:  The SIUC Law School Dean (Cynthia L. Fountaine) wants to come
and speak to students ON WEDNESDAY APRIL 11- I have arranged for her to speak to the CJ 206 Criminal Law class at 12:00 (PH 1402); and am now working on having her speak to
interested Pre-Law students at 2:00 p.m. (Room 1202 OF THE STUDENT SUCCESS CENTER).  This is a great opportunity to have an informal small group discussion with the Dean - please let me know if you plan to come to the 2:00 small group conversation with the Dean.  I would highly encourage to take advantage of this opportunity!!!!
