The Law & Entrepreneurship Clinic (www.uwle.org) would like to invite you to a performance by the Theatre for Cultural and Social Awareness (TCSA) from the UW Department of Theatre and Drama on July 13th from 5-7pm at the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery. This is a great opportunity to interface with the Law & Entrepreneurship Clinic if you are interested in joining the clinic in the future.
The TCSA performs for both campus and off-campus entities. For us, they will be performing two vignettes that touch on issues of seen and unseen biases and how those can affect decision making. The performance will focus on issues related to attorney-client relationships. Following the performance, the group facilitates a discussion. For more information about the TCSA see the links below:
http://www.theatre.wisc.edu/TCSA.htm

This performance is being specifically tailored with attorneys in mind. I hope you can join us on July 13!

If you are using the student fridge or lounge areas over the summer please be extra cognizant about picking up after yourself.
Please throw your things out, take care of your stuff, and don’t rely on SBA cleanings every Friday because we are not staffed to handle the same level of use that occurs during the school year.
Thank you!
