| Andrea Shemberg '97: Quixote in Pragmatist's Clothing |
 Like Don Quixote, Andrea Shemberg '97 is an idealist bent
on righting wrongs. Unlike Cervantes' hero, she is practical
and effective. Take, for example, her current work with Amnesty
UK opposing a pipeline contract between the Turkish government
and BP. In addition to lobbying international lenders to refrain
from supporting the project in its current form, she, along
with her colleagues at Amnesty have been meeting with BP to
discuss how the agreements could be improved with respect to
international human rights law. (learn

| Moot Courtroom Renovation Committee Declares Victory |
 Co-Chairs Frank A. Ray '73 and John C. McDonald '61
and a committed Moot Courtroom Renovation Committee have declared
victory. The drive to raise $330,000 to bring the moot courtroom
into the 21st century through the addition of state-of-the-art
technology is complete and construction will begin during the
2004 summer break. (learn

| Artistry in Motion: The Circuitous Career of Larry Thompson '78 |
 Ringling College of Art and Design President Larry Thompson
'78 likes to call himself a "guidance counselor's
nightmare." If that's true, then guidance counselors
should be dreaming of a nightmare like him. Sure, he admits
it has been hard to pin him down to one job, but his wanderlust,
in a roundabout way, has benefited everyone from the students
and staff at The Ohio State University to fans of Little Richard.

| "Trial by Jury" and Professor Whaley Prepare for Grand Finale |
 Sadly, the College's tradition of quinquennial productions
of Gilbert and Sullivan's opera "Trial by Jury"
will end with the final curtain of the March 2004 performance.
Its director, Professor
Douglas Whaley will retire in May ending a 27-year run as
both a Moritz professor/director and one of the nation's
most respected legal educators. (learn

| Carl Smallwood '80 Honored for University Advocacy |
 Carl Smallwood will receive The Ohio State University Dan L.
Heinlen Award for his superb record of University Advocacy at
the Alumni Association Awards Ceremony on November 7 at the
Hyatt Regency Columbus. It is the second time in less than a
decade that Carl has been singled out for University-wide honors.
In 1994, he received the Alumni Association's Josephine
Sitterle Failer Award in part for chairing the Columbus Bar
Association's law school liaison committee, which created
formal mentorship and practice interview programs for Columbus-area
law students. Quite simply, Carl gets things done – important
things. (learn

| It's Here – Hip Holiday Happening 2003 |
 Hip Holiday is back! Our swingin' party, now in its sixth
year, will bring students, faculty, staff, alumni from the classes
of 1995 – 2003, and friends from Columbus firms together
to enjoy festive treats and great opportunities for networking
as a way to kick off the holiday season. Jones
Day and Squire,
Sanders & Dempsey are already on board as hosts for
this perennial event at the Huntington Building, where guests
will "hop" from firm to firm. Mark your calendar
for December 2, 2003; the event begins at 5:30 p.m. (For
more details...) |
| It's Party Time for the Classes of 1988, 1993 and 1998 at the Alumni Return |
 Don't miss this chance to celebrate your 5th, 10th or
15th reunion with friends old and new next week at the Alumni
Return. Friday, we'll party at a reception and dinner
at the Buckeye Hall of Fame Café. Saturday will feature
the announcement of a new scholarship in honor of Professor
Morgan Shipman and presentation of the Outstanding Recent Alumnus
Award to Brian Burns '97. We'll gather at the College
for a sumptuous
Tuscan picnic, and then cheer on the Bucks as they play
Michigan State. It's not too late to register! |
