Announcements

August 22, 2011

Greetings!

Welcome, or welcome back, to UC Hastings! Student Services is here for you and wants to make law school life as pleasant as possible. In an effort to reduce email traffic, we'll be sending you an "Announcements" email every Monday around noon and a "Happenings" event email every Thursday, also around noon. Please have patience as we work out a few formatting bugs!

Welcome from Student Services!

Meanwhile, my door is open, so please stop by and let me know how things are going.

Thanks,

Rupa
