PEANUTS!

You either love boiled peanuts or hate them but it turns out that a Boiled Peanut Festival is a great way to raise money for a no-kill animal shelter!  Help needed bagging and selling our boiled peanuts on Sept. 29th. The most bags sold WINS a prize. It is not about the peanuts it’s all about the winning!

walk, run, or stand around!

The 22nd Annual WIL to Run 5K is set for the morning of September 29. Register today to walk or run but if you just want to volunteer, your help is needed.  You have the skills to do this! Hand out water or stand on a street corner and direct runners! Cheerleading welcomed!

Contact Patty West Morr if you want to volunteer. pwest@email.sc.edu

Looking back; moving forward!

2018 was a busy year! The Pro Bono Program established itself as the anchor for the corner of the 3rd floor.  The office is bright and full of memories, ideas and plants!  But moving from the old law school was just the beginning!  A big step was the formation and implementation of our first Alumni Advisory Council. This core group of 10 dedicated former students met with our current board and have already started to add their voice and ideas to the pro bono mix.

Enjoy this infographic that highlights some of the actions taken by volunteer students in the past academic year, but know that it is the tip of the iceberg!  

Faculty With Heart!

Thanks to everyone who donated or provided any words of encouragement to our Law School community.  With our donation of 6,783 we will be providing 3 meals a day for 7.5 families of 4 an entire year.  Amazing.

A special thanks for Professors, Brown, Handel and Medlin for going the extra mile!  You are truly faculty with heart!
