Student Chapter of the Week: Quinnipiac University School of Law

The excellent programming sponsored by ACS’s Student Chapter at Quinnipiac University School of Law in Connecticut is a major reason why they are the newest Student Chapter of the Week. The ACS chapter at Quinnipiac is well on its way to having planned twenty events this school year. 

In the fall, the chapter’s six events included a program for 1Ls, Constitution in the classroom, a discussion about Guantanamo Bay, free speech and a study break during exams.  This spring the chapter already has eight events lined up. Speakers include Jeffrey Meyer, Don Nevins, James Silk, Lauran Dickinson, John Thomas, Sheila Hayre, Jennifer Brown, Stephen Gilles, David Forte and Leslie Jennings-Lax. 

Topics for discussion range from gay and lesbian rights to immigration law to U.S. drug policy.  While hosting all of these programs, the chapter has also used the opportunity to co-sponsor with other student organizations, including the Women’s Law Society, the Federalist Society and Q Alliance. 

Quinnipiac President Lauren Henault said that “[we] are very excited to be named Student Chapter of the Week. . .and look forward to the upcoming Rights Worker Lunch series, another Constitution in the classroom visit, along with a panel discussion on the status of reproductive rights.”
