Give your feedback to the SBA Social Committee<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

Given ongoing pandemic restrictions and public health considerations, the SBA Social Committee is determining what virtual event we could hold or class gift we could provide to students (which would be sent by mail) this spring in lieu of an in-person Barristers’ Ball. Another option would be to give a gift to graduating students and roll the rest of any funds over to the general SBA account for the 2022-23 school year.\u00a0 Please help us by providing your feedback and ideas through this survey<\/a> by EOD, Sunday, March 7!<\/p>\n

Admissions Housing Survey – We Hope You Can Participate
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

The Law School Admissions Office is asking for your help in responding to an anonymous survey to obtain information about our current students\u2019 housing experiences. This information will be distributed to admitted students and will help them locate the housing that best suits their needs. Securing housing is often listed as one of the biggest stressors in the transition process for new students and given the current climate, providing your feedback on this survey will help the incoming class make a confident housing decision.<\/p>\n

Here is the Link to the Housing Survey: Temple University Beasley School of Law – Housing Survey<\/a><\/p>\n

Again, the survey is anonymous and should take approximately five minutes to complete. The housing guide is being put together with the help of VeryApt, an emerging startup in the real estate tech industry. Please contact Shauna Ware, Director of Law School Admissions, at shauna.ware@temple.edu<\/a>, if you have any questions. Thank you in advance for your participation.<\/p>\n
