Calling All Volunteers for AALS Section on Academic Support Committees!!!!
Get involved in your Section by participating on one of the committees. The committees that need your help are:
- Awards Committee: The Committee decides whether the Section will present a Section award at the next AALS Annual Meeting, solicits nominations, votes on the nominations, and recommends a recipient to the Executive Committee for submission to AALS for approval.
- Bar Passage Committee: The Committee discusses aspects that affect law graduates’ success on the bar exam and considers hot topics that should be brought to the attention of the membership.
- Learning Curve: Learning Curve is the Section publication for articles on academic support and related issues; one issue is electronic, and one issue is hard copy.
- Nominations Committee: Solicits nominations for the open officer and board positions and presents a slate to the Executive Committee for election at the Business Meeting at the AALS Annual Meeting.
- Program Committee: Plans the main program for the Section at the AALS Annual Meeting. The committee chooses a theme to complement the main conference theme, solicits proposals and papers for potential presenters, and plans the details of the program.
- Website Committee: Oversees the Law School Academic Success Project website for the Section. The website includes a directory and a variety of resources for ASP’ers and students including podcasts, conference information, job postings, and more.
To become involved on a committee, either sign up at the business meeting or program at the AALS Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. or send an email to Lisa Young, Chair-Elect at youngl@seattle.edu.
