The Michigan Union Program Board was a student-run organization whose mission was to provide social, cultural, educational, and recreational programs within the Michi- gan Union for the University community. The Program Board was responsible for many different educational and festive activities in the Union and was comprised of five different committees: enter- tainment, special events, lectures, arts, and publicity. Some of the innovative events that the Program Board offered this year in- cluded: Study Break, Arts Break, Swing Dance, Lounge Chair Theatre Night, Karaoke, Escapade Party (during Welcome Week), lecture series, and art exhibits. by Karen McQuade 344 Undergraduate Law Club

Through various activities open to all students and members of the University community, CSA provided opportunities for students to meet new people, build lead- ership skills, and enjoy the Chinese culture. Furthermore, CSA coordinated numerous programs and activities, in- cluding Dragonfest and the Lunar New Year, oriented towards the promotion, education, and representation of the Chinese American community. Cellular and molecular biology senior Charles Wang said, I enjoy CSA because it allows me to show my love for the Chinese culture. by Kevin Gembel Front Row: Anthony Sebro, Sebrina Hearing, Lakisha Hull, Leticia Addai Row 2: Mike Orlich, Xavier Green, Stephen Waterbrook, Elisa Moore, Caroline Burgunder, Fabiaye Arinyedokiari photo courtesy of McGrath Studios dventist Students for Christ Organizations 3

embers of the Undergraduate Law Club interact with law students at their Meet Real Law Students mixer. Both undergraduates and law students enjoyed meeting at Touchdown Cafe. PURSUINGTHELAW Students, whether they were aspiring lawyers or were merely interested in the law, received enormous benefits from the Undergraduate Law Club. This club serves as an informa- tion source for undergraduates who are interested in pursuing a career in the law. We strive to do this in a way that ' s social and en- joyable, agreed co-presidents Ilyse Broder, a senior sociology major, and Lesley Kagan, a senior political science major. The club sought to accomplish its goal of informing its members of law-related events through a vari- ety of outlets. For instance, they teamed up with Career Planning and Placement in order to co-spon- sor two events the Test Prep Face Off and the Lawyer ' s Panel. The Test Prep Face Off enabled Princeton Review, Kaplan, and Excel to each convince students to enroll in their classes. During the Lawyer ' s Panel, five lawyers from different fields of law spoke about their practices. Other activities that served the purpose of preparing the members about law school were tours and speeches. The tours at the law school allowed us to visit a dorm room, learn new information about law school, and attend an actual class, explained Broder. The most memorable speech was made by Dean Lehman of the Michi- gan Law School. In order to increase involve- ment, the club hosted the Meet Real Law Students mixer. This social event took place at Touch- down Cafe and gave members a chance to hang out at happy hour with law students in a more re- laxed atmosphere. All in all, the Undergraduate Law Club successfully served as an information source by providing applications on file for every law school, E-mailing upcoming events, and offering mock LSATs. by Aubrey Zubrin Kristy Parker ram Board photo courtesy of Kathryn Hickner niversity students listen to Tom Collier and Gerald Linderman give a lecture titled, Saving Private Ryan! A Dialogue. The lecture was part of a monthly faculty lec- ture series sponsored by the Michigan Union Program Board. Kristy Parker Picciafoco and Lesley Kagan talk about the conversations they had with the law students at their mixer at Touchdown Cafe.
