would like to encourage everyone to go to The Breast Cancer Site

to donate a free mammogram to an underprivileged woman.

The site is having trouble getting

enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least

one fee mammogram per day. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click,

FOR FREE, on

This doesn’t cost you a thing. Their corporate

sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammograms in exchange for advertising.

PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS

Friday, February 10, 2006 12:00-2:00 p.m., Bannan 142

We are delighted to have the opportunity to host the hilarious, irreverent, and devastatingly direct Professor Charles Whitebread of USC Law School and the

BarBri Bar Review course. You can experience the performance, then read about it again … all attendees will receive free copies of Professor Whitebread’s book, “The Eight Secrets of Top Exam Performance in Law School: An Easy-To-Use,

Step-By-Step Program For Achieving Great Grades!” which addresses essays to multiple-choice to take-home formats.

In the second hour, Assistant APD Dean Marina Hsieh and Externships Director Jessica Kahn will add tips for professional success that will improve your success in

both school and work. Culled from employer and professor conversations, these what-they-don’t-tell-you-in-class tips will help you in class performance, job

interviews, externships and summer jobs, and lay the foundation for successful practice.
