NOTES FROM THE SBA PRESIDENT

FALL FOOD DRIVE

You were AMAZING! Many families will now be able to enjoy a holiday meal because of your hard work and dedication. Together we brought in almost 50,000 lbs. of food for those less fortunate. You should be very proud as we continue to prove how amazing it is to be a part of the University of South Carolina School of Law. Check below for more details on the Food Drive.

SBA STORE - NEW ITEMS, PREORDER MERCHANDISE

You requested it, so we went out and got it. Stop by the SBA Store and check out the new items we are carrying including Red Bull (Regular and Sugar Free) for only $2.00. Also we are going to order more short-sleeve shirts, long sleeve shirts, and sweatshirts so come in and pre-order yours today. The last day to pre-order will be Friday, Nov. 17. The order will arrive before exams are over so that you can wear your law school apparel during the winter break. Don't forget, these items also make great Christmas gifts for parents, spouses, and relatives.
