If you're not responsible for grading exams, then you may find yourself with a few "free" days in December. If that's the case, then this might be a good time to create or revamp a brochure outlining your law school's academic support programs and services. The brochure can not only serve as a handout for students, but also remind your faculty colleagues of available resources. (See Amy Jarmon's 2007 blog post "Working with Faculty Colleagues.")
To get a jumpstart on the task, you are invited to use my school's brochure as a template: Download Academic Support Trifold Brochure Template. Although we used publishing software to create the original brochure, I've provided a Microsoft Word version here for ease of use. Of course, you'll need to swap out your school's particular program information, but I suspect that the big picture layout can remain the same for most schools. Your school's public relations or technology department may also be able to lend a helping hand with logos, branding, and formatting. (Kirsha Trychta)
