Announcement Reminders

Extra Food at Law School Events: Please note that most events at the law school require advance registration and have a designated time for food and beverage service. After the reception for an event has concluded, if there is leftover food and time permits, notification will be sent using Zot Bites. If there is not enough time before the food is cleared for a Zot Bites notification, a law school staff member will walk through the Law Library with a sign stating food is available for students. Please do not interrupt events in progress to ask whether you can take some food. If you are experiencing food insecurity, see the list of resources available through the UCI Basic Needs Center, which include CalFresh and the FRESH Pantry.

Office of Equal Opportunity and Diversity (OEOD): Mandatory Training: All students must complete the training by Friday, October 25 to avoid a hold on their student account. See Dean Jones' email on Wednesday, September 4 for information.
