The admissions office is seeking volunteers to help with our admitted students email project. Admitted students love to hear from current law students about their experience at Iowa law. This project will start in late January and run thru mid April. Each week the admissions office will send a small list of admitted students for you to reach out to. Depending on the number of volunteers we receive you will not be given a list every week. If you would like to help us please send an email to Jan Barnes at jbarnes@uiowa.edu, with your email address.
