We are starting the school year with a bang!!!
To start the semester, we would like to cordially invite you to our BLSA Annual 1L Mixer that will be held at the McKenna Museum of African American Art on Saturday, August 20th (6 p.m. until 9 p.m.). The main purpose of the mixer is to introduce 1Ls to BLSA and provide them the opportunity to meet fellow classmates, upperclassmen, alumni, faculty and staff in a relaxed atmosphere. This mixer will also serve as an opportunity for BLSA mentors to meet their mentees.
We hope that you will support this endeavor and will be in attendance as we look forward to seeing you. Food will be served. Directions are included for your reference.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience.
