Tuesday, September 15, 2026 - 5:30pm • 433BOur September huddle will introduce our co-chairs, along with our 2L and 3L leaders. After a brief introduction we will break into groups to allow 1Ls to briefly introduce themselves before diving into the topics for the evening.
The first topic we will cover will be a broad overview of concerns 1Ls still have related to coursework.
The next topic will delve into the Sports Law Program generally answering questions related to what the experience is like, what to expect and what you can do as a 1L. (We will not answer any questions which Prof. Anderson should be the only person to answer. We will be directing our fellow leaders to answer what their experience has been and to tell 1Ls to utilize 1L to explore everything they can, volunteer when opportunities arise, and attend all speaker events).
The final topic of the night will be related to how we managed stress and how law students can just be normal people outside of the law school and have a good work life balance.
This huddle will begin at 5:30 p.m. in room 433B. Dinner will be provided. Reach out to Co-chairs Cruz Lopez & Sara Schmitt with any questions.
