10 Ways to Play an Important Role at IU Law-Indianapolis

Play an active role in the life of your alma mater. It’s easy. Use this handy checklist to keep track of your progress!

  1. Give to the school annually and become a member of the alumni association. (Alumni Association members get discounts on many law school events!)
  2. Make sure your professional bio mentions that you graduated from the IU School of Law-Indianapolis. (We are proud of you! We want you to be proud of us!)
  3. Invite Dean Roberts and/or a faculty member to speak at your firm. (Win brownie points at the firm for suggesting a speaker!)
  4. Forward the law school’s electronic newsletter, Constructive Notice, to five friends. (If we don’t have your e-mail address and you don’t receive the e-newsletter, let us know. We can fix that problem!) To be added to the e-mail recipient list, contact Elizabeth Allington, Director for External Affairs, at eallingt@iupui.edu .
  5. Make the law school website your homepage on your computer: www.indylaw.indiana.edu (If not, vow to check the law school website on a weekly basis!)
  6. Volunteer to work with the Alumni Association and the Office of Professional Development in the Mock Interview Program. (Or volunteer to judge moot court or client counseling!) To volunteer to participate, contact Danny Kibble, Director, Alumni Programs, at djkibble@iupui.edu.
  7. Volunteer to help the Admissions Office with student recruitment. (Yes, we are allowed to call our recruits—unlike sports teams!) To volunteer, send an e-mail to our Director of Admissions, Patricia Kinney, at pkkinney@iupui.edu or call 317-274-2459.
  8. Sign up to be a Class Agent! (It’s like a secret agent, but less dangerous.See page 57 of the summer magazine for details.)
  9. Attend at least one event at the law school each semester--and bring a friend. (Lectures are enlightening and we serve beer and wine when they’re over!)
  10. Amuse and amaze your friends by sprinkling your daily conversations with talking points about the law school. (It’s easy. We’ll supply the talking points. See page 11 of the summer magazine!)
