Admitted Students' Events
 
The last week of June, the JD Office of Admissions will host a two-day drop-in Housing Conference and coinciding Summer Welcome BBQ for Incoming Students. Prior to that the Office of Financial Aid will be co-hosting a virtual session on living on budget. Information and links to register for all of these events are below.
 
Virtual Financial Aid Session: June 16th at 1:00 p.m. ET: Building Your Law School Budget

Tracking money coming in versus money going out during law school is a skill that will transfer to the rest of your life. During this event, an Accredited Financial Counselor® from AccessLex Institute® will unpack five practical budgeting steps and two different budgeting approaches so you can get started today. Attendees will receive an entry into the annual MAX by AccessLex® Scholarship Drawings. Register online here

 
Housing Conference Thursday, June 25 and Friday, June 26
During the Housing Conference, Admissions and student staffers dedicate time to assist you with your housing search. There is no fee to attend, but we do ask that you register and indicate if you will bring one guest. This is a drop-in event, so attend for either or both days and for whatever activities you prefer. We provide the following: a resource area in the Capital Atrium with access to computers; admissions staff available to answer questions; and snacks/refreshments
 
Register for the Housing Conference.
 
Summer Welcome BBQ Thursday, June 25
At this casual BBQ, you will get an opportunity to meet your classmates and a few invited faculty, staff, and current students. You are welcome to bring a parent/partner/friend. If you have children, they are also welcome to attend. Please be sure to indicate on the RSVP form if you will be bringing any guests.
