Waleisha is the second Widener Law Commonwealth student to be chosen by the ABA Business Law Section for this honor.</p>\\r\\n<p>As you know, our goal is to prepare students to be client-ready attorneys who have a strong foundation in topics essential to business law practice and a strong professional identity as business lawyers.

If you are interested in helping us train client-ready business lawyers, there is a lot you can do. We have an active advisory board, and we are always looking for new members.

The Law School faculty is committed to ensuring that the intent of Pathway 1 of the Skills Requirement is met, and has developed <a href=\\\"ipl://247//W10=////\\\">learning outcomes</a> that guide the curriculum from which each JD student will be choosing courses that meet this requirement.</p>\\r\\n<p>Widener Law Commonwealth has determined that graduates are prepared for &ldquo;basic competence and ethical participation in the legal profession&rdquo; (22 NYCRR &sect; 520.18[a][1][i][a]) if they:</p>\\r\\n<ul>\\r\\n<li>Satisfy the JD degree requirements; and</li>\\r\\n<li>Satisfactorily complete each of the courses specified below. Satisfactory completion means that the student has received a grade of at least a D in a graded course or a Pass in a Pass/Fail course.\\r\\n<ul>\\r\\n<li>Legal Methods I, II, and III</li>\\r\\n<li>Professional Responsibility</li>\\r\\n<li>Experiential courses totaling at least six additional credits, two of which must be satisfied by enrollment in a clinic, externship, or practicum that will provide opportunities to develop skills in oral and written communication, problem solving, fact investigation, research and writing, and case strategy.</li>\\r\\n</ul>\\r\\n</li>\\r\\n</ul>\\r\\n<p><strong><a id=\\\"path2\\\"></a>Pathway 2:</strong> Law school certification of credit acquisition</p>\\r\\n<p>To fulfill this pathway, an applicant may submit to the New York bar a certificate from the registrar&rsquo;s office confirming that the applicant enrolled in and successfully completed 15 credit hours of practice-based experiential coursework. Courses in the Widener Law Commonwealth curriculum that would meet this requirement include:</p>\\r\\n<p>a) Advanced Trial Methods (2 credits)</p>\\r\\n<p>b) Business Planning (2 credits)</p>\\r\\n<p>c) Federal Civil Practice (2 credits)</p>\\r\\n<p>d) Federal Criminal Practice (2 credits)</p>\\r\\n<p>e) I.T.A.P. (2 credits)</p>\\r\\n<p>f) Negotiation (2 credits)</p>\\r\\n<p>g) PA Civil Clinic (4 credits)</p>\\r\\n<p>h) PA Civil Practice (2 credits)</p>\\r\\n<p>i) Pre-Trial Methods (2 credits)</p>\\r\\n<p>j) Pro Bono Practice I (1-2 credits)</p>\\r\\n<p>k) Special Problems in Legal Ethics (1 credit)</p>\\r\\n<p>l) Trial Methods (2 credits)</p>\\r\\n<p>m) Externship credits</p>\\r\\n<p>n) VITA (1 credit)</p>\\r\\n<p>o) Sustainability Law Practicum (2 credits)</p>\\r\\n<p>In addition to these courses, Widener Law Commonwealth students may also count one credit of the first year legal methods credits toward this requirement. Credits for Legal Methods III courses can also be counted toward this requirement so long as the courses lead to the production of documents that serve as &ldquo;legal instruments.&rdquo; Examples in our curriculum include Contract Drafting and Starting Your Own Law Firm. Moot Court and Trial Advocacy experiences can also count toward fulfilling this requirement so long as they are faculty-supervised and credit-bearing.</p>\\r\\n<p>Finally, applicants may receive up to six of the fifteen credits through law school certified, non-credit bearing summer employment supervised by an attorney in good standing in any state or territory of the United States or the District of Columbia. This work experience can be either paid or unpaid. The experience must include:</p>\\r\\n<ol>\\r\\n<li>an initial orientation session;</li>\\r\\n<li>an opportunity for the student to receive experience and guidance in the skills and values required for basic competence and ethical participation in the legal profession;</li>\\r\\n<li>timely oral and written feedback; and</li>\\r\\n<li>a monitoring system that demonstrates&nbsp; the student was actually engaged in the performance of legal work and performed a diversity of tasks during normal business hours and throughout the required period.</li>\\r\\n</ol>\\r\\n<p>At least 50 hours of full-time employment is required for each substituted credit under this subdivision. Only summer hours may be counted. &nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p><strong><a id=\\\"path4\\\"></a>Pathway 4:</strong> Apprenticeship</p>\\r\\n<p>To fulfill this pathway, an applicant must complete a six-month, full-time, paid or unpaid apprenticeship in a law office in the United States, under the supervision of one or more attorneys who have, for at least two years, been admitted to practice and are in good standing in the jurisdiction where the apprenticeship occurs. The apprenticeship must be continuous for the six-month period, and must begin after the conclusion of the applicant\'s legal studies and be completed within three years of the applicant sitting for the second day of the Uniform Bar Exam.</p>\\r\\n<p><a href=\\\"http://www.nycourts.gov/ctapps/news/skills.pdf\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">Click here for responses to questions commonly asked about New York&rsquo;s Skills Competency requirement.</a></p>\",\n    \"callouts\": [],\n    \"content_two\": \"\",\n    \"callouts_two\": [],\n    \"box_content\": \"\",\n    \"nav_callout_image\": \"\",\n    \"nav_callout_overlay_color\": \"\"\n}', '', '', NULL, NULL, 0, 8, 0, 0, '2019-12-09 09:25:05', '2022-02-22 10:20:17'),

Joyce is a few weeks away from checking this major life goal off his list.</p>\\r\\n<p>Graduating from the University of Scranton in 2017 with a history degree, Joyce moved without a break&nbsp; to law school, a dream he&rsquo;d had since his days at Lansdale Catholic High School. He was ready, having polished his debate skills in college with the pre-law society and mock trial team. He will be the first lawyer in his family.</p>\\r\\n<p>Drawn to Widener University Commonwealth Law School for its proximity to the Pennsylvania State Capital and its manageable size, Joyce immediately felt at home on the Harrisburg campus.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;Law school has been what I had hoped it would be. I&rsquo;ve always found debate interesting and I&rsquo;ve had the opportunity here to do so much of it, including winning the <a href=\\\"https://www.atlac.org/mock-trial-competition\\\">Academy of Trial Lawyers of Allegheny County Annual Academy Mock Trial</a> competition with my trial partner, fourth-year Amoreena (Amy) Bua, in February,&rdquo; he said.</p>\\r\\n<p><img src=\\\"irl://2294//\\\" alt=\\\"Photo of Mike with the winning mock trial team and their coaches\\\" style=\\\"float: right;\\\" width=\\\"300\\\" />Joyce talked passionately about his experience with mock trial while at Widener Law Commonwealth, saying it is the closest he&rsquo;ll get to trying an actual case until he does his first one. Arguing a nursing home negligent fall case before federal judges in a court room in the Joseph F. Weis, Jr. Federal Courthouse in Pittsburgh was stressful, he said. His initial performance, a direct examination of a witness, got off to a rocky start, but he settled down by focusing on the case, for which he had spent hours preparing. &nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;The objections especially can throw you off,&rdquo; Joyce said. &ldquo;We practiced them beforehand, working on even the craziest ones, just in case. We threw a lot at the opposing counsel, too. They overcame one I thought would go our way and got a document admitted. But when I got that witness on cross examination, she floundered anyway, so we got where we needed to go,&rdquo; he said.</p>\\r\\n<p>In addition to his participation in the mock trial program, Joyce is a member of the <a href=\\\"ipl://220//W10=////\\\">Trial Advocacy Honor Society</a> and the executive managing editor of the <a href=\\\"ipl://222//W10=////\\\">Widener Commonwealth Law Review</a>.</p>\\r\\n<p>Joyce&rsquo;s work on the law review has included the summer write on competition and overseeing the annual survey of Pennsylvania&rsquo;s administrative law cases. His survey &ndash; on Department of Transportation cases -- will be published in this spring&rsquo;s edition. He has also served as the head of a five-member team tracking tort case decisions in all 50 states and the federal courts for Widener Law Commonwealth <a href=\\\"ipl://35//WyIyNiJd////\\\">Professor Christopher J. Robinette</a>, who is an editor of a leading torts treatise, <em>Harper, James &amp; Gray on Torts</em>, and an advisor to the <em>Restatement of the Law Third, Torts: Concluding Provisions</em>.</p>\\r\\n<p>Joyce has also worked as an Academic Support Fellow to <a href=\\\"ipl://35//WyIyNSJd////\\\">Professor Susan Raeker-Jordan</a> in her civil procedure class. He said he liked helping first years get to the &ldquo;Oh, I get it&rdquo; moment.</p>\\r\\n<p>He has also worked as a Widener Law Commonwealth Student Ambassador, giving campus tours and making himself available to interested and admitted students.</p>\\r\\n<p>For now, like everyone else, Joyce is facing the disruption and uncertainly caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;We were supposed to have one more trial for the trial advocacy honor society, which has now been cancelled. And the graduation ceremony itself is up in the air,&rdquo; Joyce said. As class valedictorian, he is scheduled to give an address, which he continues to work on regardless.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;Whether I get to give the speech in May or not, I will write about Ignatius of Loyola, who encouraged us to go forth and set the world on fire. In a good way,&rdquo; he said.</p>\\r\\n<p>Joyce hopes he can start his own fire in the world in September, when he is scheduled to begin a one-year clerkship for <a href=\\\"https://courts.delaware.gov/superior/aboutus/judges_profile_jmedinilla.aspx\\\">Judge Vivian L.

Bua from walking across the stage at The Forum in Harrisburg on May 17, but it won&rsquo;t stand in the way of a plan she&rsquo;s been working on for nearly 20 years &ndash; to become an attorney.</p>\\r\\n<p>Bua, who goes by the nickname Amy, is finishing the law school&rsquo;s extended evening division this semester, and throughout her legal education has continued her fulltime work as a paralegal with Family Design Resources, a nonprofit providing legal services for child welfare programs in all 67 Pennsylvania counties. She works exclusively for the Lancaster County Children and Youth Social Services Agency (CYS) &nbsp;on dependency proceedings and terminations of parental rights.</p>\\r\\n<p>A Lancaster native and resident, Bua graduated from Franklin &amp; Marshall College in 2001.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;I had always wanted to go to law school, but put my plans on hold when I was expecting our second child my senior year of college,&rdquo; Bua said.&nbsp; She focused on her children, staying home for nine years. When she was ready to return to work, she accepted a job at the same Lancaster CYS agency she works with today, but at that time as a caseworker, investigating child abuse and neglect reports.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;Once I was back at work, my thoughts kept returning to law school. At a certain point, I knew I had to either go for it or put it out of my mind,&rdquo; she said.</p>\\r\\n<p>Bua jumped in, taking the LSAT and eventually applying to Widener Law Commonwealth.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t apply anywhere else,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;My husband owns a restaurant, Sal&rsquo;s Pizza in Willow Street, and our daughters were in school in Lancaster. Moving was out of the question,&rdquo; Bua said. &ldquo;I also wanted to keep working. Widener just made sense, and they were also generous in the aid they offered me.&rdquo;</p>\\r\\n<p>Bua said that having high school and middle school age children made it a little easier for her to add law school into to an already busy schedule. She said the key was being very structured with time.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;Not being home much in the evenings has been hard,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;But now that it&rsquo;s almost over, it feels like it went fast. And my family has been so supportive of me, which has made all the difference.&rdquo;</p>\\r\\n<p>Bua said that she knows her children have been impacted in a good way by her going back to school. &ldquo;They have seen what you can do if you are determined and put your mind to it,&rdquo; she said. Her oldest daughter is in nursing school in Lancaster, her youngest in a junior in high school.</p>\\r\\n<p>Bua has a long list of law school accomplishments. Together with 3L Mike Joyce, she was on the winning&nbsp; trial advocacy team at the <a href=\\\"https://www.atlac.org/mock-trial-competition\\\">Academy of Trial Lawyers of Allegheny County Annual Academy Mock Trial</a> in February; her team placed second in 2019. She was a member of the Trial Advocacy Honor Society, serving as its secretary and external vice president. She has been on the Dean&rsquo;s List for the past three years and was recognized in multiple classes throughout law school with the &ldquo;CALI Award&rdquo; for having the highest grade.</p>\\r\\n<p>Working as a research assistant to Professor Christopher J. Robinette, Bua contributed to his portion of <em>Harper, James, and Gray on Torts</em>. She also participated as a &ldquo;Practicum Participant&rdquo; in the Second Chance Clinic with MidPenn Legal Services and as a volunteer at the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Clinic program.</p>\\r\\n<p>Bua has accepted a one-year clerkship with Judge Donald R. Totaro in the Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas for this fall.&nbsp; She said she is keeping an open mind about her goals for her legal practice, saying only that she is fairly certain it will include work in a courtroom. &nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>Bua said that the transition to staying at home to finish the school year while working at home for her job during the COVID-19 pandemic has been an adjustment for her after all these years of running.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;I miss the structure of going to campus.

This would allow her to attend law school fulltime, as opposed to the night program she attended in Florida.</li>\\r\\n<li>All of her credits from her prior law school would transfer.</li>\\r\\n<li>Being close to Harrisburg, the State Capitol, and within driving distance of multiple county seats gave her the expanded internship, externship and job opportunities she craved.</li>\\r\\n<li>Her two grandmothers, both in their eighties, were still living and coming home would give her more time with them.</li>\\r\\n<li>After spending hours in her car each day while teaching and attending night school, she relished the idea of having time for a social life.</li>\\r\\n</ul>\\r\\n<p>Bobula is one of two people in her extended family to attend college and graduate school, the first to attend law school. She is a Central Dauphin High School graduate and obtained a degree in biology and a master&rsquo;s degree in forensics from Duquesne University.</p>\\r\\n<p>Bobula said she loved teaching but after eight years&nbsp; she &ldquo;ran out of goals&rdquo; after launching her school&rsquo;s first forensics program.</p>\\r\\n<p>Bobula calls herself a Widener &ldquo;halfie;&rdquo; her first year in Harrisburg she took half her classes with 1Ls and half with 2Ls.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;While it was a challenge to make friends, I did it,&rdquo; she said, explaining that upon arriving on campus, she joined the <a href=\\\"ipl://217//W10=////ZWxwcw==\\\">Environmental Law and Policy Society</a>, whose members quickly became her core law school friends. She is currently the vice president of the society. Last year, she completed a remote internship for the international <a href=\\\"https://www.earthlawcenter.org/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">Earth Law Center</a>.</p>\\r\\n<p>Bobula put her spare time to good use at Widener, founding the <a href=\\\"ipl://217//W10=////YWxkZg==\\\">Animal Legal Defense Fund</a> with Ricky Marcil last year; this year she is serving as that group&rsquo;s vice president.</p>\\r\\n<p>She participated in Trial Advocacy, as well, competing in a Philadelphia event earlier this year. She said this program pushed her to be a better advocate and that her teaching background came in handy.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;There is nothing as &lsquo;judgey&rsquo; as a roomful of high schoolers, &ldquo; she said. &ldquo;The actual judges and attorneys &nbsp;who worked with us at the competition were nice and definitely not as intimidating as 11<sup>th</sup> graders.&rdquo;</p>\\r\\n<p>Bobula also did an externship with the Dauphin County Public Defender&rsquo;s office and will be doing one with the Federal Public Defender&rsquo;s Office for the Middle District in Harrisburg next semester.</p>\\r\\n<p>Bobula&rsquo;s &ldquo;halfie&rdquo; status will be with her until graduation. She is slated to graduate in December 2020. Traditionally, Widener Law Commonwealth students graduating mid-year are invited to participate in the following May&rsquo;s graduation ceremony at the Forum. With the COVID-19 pandemic, however, the May 2020 ceremony has already been pushed back to December, so Bobula may march with those 2Ls she first took class with last year.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;d much rather wait until May 2021, though,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;Believe it or not, graduation that year falls on my 35<sup>th</sup> birthday weekend &ndash; what a way to celebrate! Hopefully, I&rsquo;ll pass the bar, so I&rsquo;d be listed in the commencement program as Leah Bobula, Esq., which has a nice ring to it!&rdquo;</p>\\r\\n<p>With her science and forensics backgrounds, Bobula said she is a natural fit for criminal defense work and is even considering taking the so-called patent bar, the registration exam required by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. She wants to take both the Florida and the Pennsylvania bar exams and is not sure yet where she will practice. She said she loved living in Florida but is glad she came home to complete her law degree.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;Widener Law Commonwealth gave me everything I was looking for,&rdquo; Bobula said. And she got to spend time with her family and save a little money, to boot.</p>\\r\\n<p><img src=\\\"irl://2347//\\\" alt=\\\"\\\" style=\\\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\\\" width=\\\"300\\\" /></p>\\r\\n<p style=\\\"text-align: center;\\\">Leah pictured in Fall 2019 at a football game at the high school in Florida where she taught for a few years &ndash; Atlantic Coastal in Jacksonville</p>\\r\\n<p style=\\\"text-align: left;\\\"><em>Interview was conducted in Spring 2020.</em></p>\",\n    \"box_content\": \"<h5 style=\\\"text-align: left;\\\">Contact Information<br /><br /></h5>\\r\\n<p style=\\\"text-align: left;\\\"><strong>Admissions Office&nbsp;<br /></strong><strong>Phone:</strong> 717.541.3903<br /><strong>Fax:&nbsp;</strong>717.541.3999<br /><strong>Email:</strong>&nbsp;<a href=\\\"mailto:admitcwlaw@widener.edu\\\">admitcwlaw@widener.edu</a>&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<h5 style=\\\"text-align: center;\\\"><strong><br />CONNECT WITH US!<br /><br /></strong><a title=\\\"Follow us on Facebook\\\" href=\\\"https://facebook.com/widenerlawcommonwealth\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\"><img src=\\\"irl://639//\\\" alt=\\\"Facebook Logo\\\" height=\\\"30\\\" width=\\\"30\\\" /></a>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<a title=\\\"Follow us on Twitter @WidenerLawCW\\\" href=\\\"https://twitter.com/widenerlawcw\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\"><img src=\\\"irl://645//\\\" alt=\\\"Twitter Logo\\\" height=\\\"30\\\" width=\\\"30\\\" /></a>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<a title=\\\"Follow us on Instagram @WidenerLawCW\\\" href=\\\"https://www.instagram.com/widenerlawcw/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\"><img src=\\\"irl://1755//\\\" alt=\\\"Instagram Logo\\\" height=\\\"30\\\" width=\\\"30\\\" /></a><br /><br /></h5>\"\n}', '', '', NULL, NULL, 0, 8, 0, 10, '2020-04-21 11:19:10', '2020-10-16 11:21:40'),

He quickly found a niche working with <a href=\\\"https://www.dcba-pa.org/community-programs/volunteer-lawyers-for-the-arts/\\\">Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts</a>, a joint program run by Widener Law Commonwealth and the Dauphin County Bar Association. He is also a member of <a href=\\\"ipl://217//W10=////\\\">Public Interest Law Society</a>.</p>\\r\\n<p>Anderson did his first internship within a semester of arriving on campus, working two days a week at the Pennsylvania Legislative Reference Bureau, which prepares legislative bills and resolutions for introduction in the General Assembly. With his long-time interest in government, Anderson said he was excited for the opportunity and is grateful to Professor Jill Family for helping him get it.&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>Last summer, Anderson worked at the Pennsylvania Office of General Counsel, where he was assigned to the Department of State and working on civil licensing matters with the Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;I made three appearances before an administrative law judge,&rdquo; Anderson said about his time at the OGC. &ldquo;This was a great experience for me &ndash; there is a big difference between talking about making an argument and actually making one in court, with real attorneys on the other side tearing it down!&rdquo;</p>\\r\\n<p>This fall, he was able to move over to the Bureau for Consumer protection of the Pennsylvania Attorney General&rsquo;s office. He worked on a range of matters, including consumer protection actions, price gouging cases, and deceptive practice prosecutions.</p>\\r\\n<p>Anderson credits many of his professors with pushing him during his time at the law school. He cites <a href=\\\"ipl://35//WyIxMyJd////\\\">Professor Michael R. Dimino, Sr</a>. as particularly instrumental in his education, helping him develop his &ldquo;style of argument&rdquo; and pushing him to better support his arguments with case law and practical examples during many class discussions.</p>\\r\\n<p>Anderson said he will be the first lawyer on both sides of his family and that although the spring semester has been disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, he loved every minute of his time at Widener.</p>\\r\\n<p><img src=\\\"irl://2391//\\\" alt=\\\"a photo of Matt and his dog\\\" style=\\\"float: right;\\\" width=\\\"250\\\" />&ldquo;My advice to all students, but especially transfer students who don&rsquo;t have time to waste: make those connections with the faculty and staff right away.

Without the people relationships, it would be a very different experience.&rdquo;</p>\\r\\n<p>Romeo said she is particularly excited that next year all eight members of the SBA executive team will be women.</p>\\r\\n<p>As part of her work study job, Romeo has been the law school&rsquo;s photographer for one year, as well.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;This was a great job for me,&rdquo; Romeo said, adding that she goes to almost all the events anyway, so her job felt fun and easy.</p>\\r\\n<p>Romeo joined <a href=\\\"ipl://217//W10=////cGFk\\\">Phi Alpha Delta</a>, the law school fraternity, and is currently the vice president of the <a href=\\\"ipl://217//W10=////d2xj\\\">Women&rsquo;s Law Caucus</a>, two other activities she has enjoyed and would recommend that others explore.</p>\\r\\n<p>Romeo did an internship with the Domestic Violence Legal Center at the YWCA of Greater Harrisburg last summer and will be clerking for Killian &amp; Gephart, LLP law firm this summer, despite the pandemic.&nbsp; She is interested in pursuing family law after law school, in many ways as a result of her own experience being part of a foster family.</p>\\r\\n<p>Romeo said her parents took in her brother&rsquo;s best friend from pre-school, whose family was having a difficult time raising him and asked for help, informally at first. Her parents were given permanent custody of him when he was in fifth grade. Sadly, he died in an accident during her freshman year of college.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;I consider Gary to be my guardian angel now,&rdquo; Romeo said. &ldquo;He didn&rsquo;t get great cards dealt to him in life and I saw what a difference family makes and also the positive impact he had on our family. We were all better together. I want to support other families helping children see that the world has so much to offer.&rdquo;</p>\\r\\n<p>During the pandemic, Romeo has taken to sending handwritten notes in the mail to friends and family.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m always Zooming and Facetiming, of course. But everyone loves to get mail!&rdquo; she said.</p>\\r\\n<p><img src=\\\"irl://2395//\\\" alt=\\\"photo of Gabriella\'s cat, Mia\\\" style=\\\"float: left;\\\" />Romeo said her cat, Mia, has been good company during the stay-at-home order, and has even become a bit of a minor celebrity.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;She sits on my lap during every class and she&rsquo;s comical, purposefully knocking my pen off my table, begging for attention,&rdquo; Romeo said. &ldquo;The other day, she jumped in an empty Corona beer box in my kitchen and got a good laugh from my class. It&rsquo;s like she knew what she was doing,&rdquo; Romeo said.</p>\\r\\n<p>Mia has a consistent presence on Romeo&rsquo;s Facebook page and her very own Instagram account (@littlemiakitty), said Romeo.</p>\\r\\n<p>Romeo encouraged anyone looking for a law school to pick the place they feel most comfortable.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve had such a wonderful experience at Widener. I&rsquo;m not going to lie -- law school is stressful,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;You don&rsquo;t want extra stress, so pick a school you like, one with friendly people.&rdquo;</p>\\r\\n<p><em>Interview was conducted in Spring 2020.</em></p>\",\n    \"box_content\": \"<h5 style=\\\"text-align: left;\\\">Contact Information<br /><br /></h5>\\r\\n<p style=\\\"text-align: left;\\\"><strong>Admissions Office&nbsp;<br /></strong><strong>Phone:</strong> 717.541.3903<br /><strong>Fax:&nbsp;</strong>717.541.3999<br /><strong>Email:</strong>&nbsp;<a href=\\\"mailto:admitcwlaw@widener.edu\\\">admitcwlaw@widener.edu</a>&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<h5 style=\\\"text-align: center;\\\"><strong><br />CONNECT WITH US!<br /><br /></strong><a title=\\\"Follow us on Facebook\\\" href=\\\"https://facebook.com/widenerlawcommonwealth\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\"><img src=\\\"irl://639//\\\" alt=\\\"Facebook Logo\\\" height=\\\"30\\\" width=\\\"30\\\" /></a>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<a title=\\\"Follow us on Twitter @WidenerLawCW\\\" href=\\\"https://twitter.com/widenerlawcw\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\"><img src=\\\"irl://645//\\\" alt=\\\"Twitter Logo\\\" height=\\\"30\\\" width=\\\"30\\\" /></a>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<a title=\\\"Follow us on Instagram @WidenerLawCW\\\" href=\\\"https://www.instagram.com/widenerlawcw/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\"><img src=\\\"irl://1755//\\\" alt=\\\"Instagram Logo\\\" height=\\\"30\\\" width=\\\"30\\\" /></a><br /><br /></h5>\"\n}', '', '', NULL, NULL, 0, 8, 0, 2, '2020-04-30 11:10:56', '2020-05-01 12:05:38'),

She will not graduate with them this year, but does not complain, saying that it is what she signed up for and it was her job.</h4>\\r\\n<p>Nelson began her career with the National Guard while a sophomore at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, her hometown. She seriously considered making the fulltime commitment to the military but decided to pursue her lifelong dream of going to law school instead, transferring to the Pennsylvania National Guard once she was accepted to Widener University Commonwealth Law School in 2017.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;I like to say that Widener found me,&rdquo; Nelson said, adding that she had a friend who attended the law school in Harrisburg and during a visit, observed how close-knit the students were.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;It felt like a family,&rdquo; she said.</p>\\r\\n<p>Nelson said that meeting <a href=\\\"ipl://35//WyIxOSJd////\\\">Professor Randy Lee</a> at the beginning of her first year really put her at ease.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;He assured me that he would be there for me, that the other professors would be there for me, too,&rdquo; she said. Nelson said from that point on, she felt comfortable stopping by to talk to her professors during their office hours.</p>\\r\\n<p>She said she found her first year to be rigorous, like and unlike boot camp at the same time.&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;We were all going through so much, but people came together, she said. &ldquo;I had so many study groups; we were a team and it was almost fun.&rdquo;</p>\\r\\n<p>But unlike military training, law school requires a lot of individual effort and time alone, studying and writing.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;That was a culture shock for me,&rdquo; Nelson said.</p>\\r\\n<p>Now officially a member of the class of 2021, Nelson is also expecting her first child this spring and has been diligently social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.</p>\\r\\n<p>While at Widener, Nelson has been active with the Black Law Students Association. She especially liked the work she has done with The Nativity School of Harrisburg, a non-denominational, faith-based private middle school aiming to break the cycle of poverty for ow-income, inner-city boys.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;The principal asked me to just spend time with the students, playing basketball or football,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;The boys really appreciated me being there, and I was so impressed by how much their teachers care and how invested they are in the students.&rdquo;</p>\\r\\n<p>Nelson has also been active with the law school&rsquo;s veterans&rsquo; group, enjoying the camaraderie with other active duty and retired service members and National Guard classmates.</p>\\r\\n<p><img src=\\\"irl://2400//\\\" alt=\\\"photo of Brittany\\\" style=\\\"float: right;\\\" width=\\\"300\\\" />Next fall, Nelson plans to pursue the law school&rsquo;s <a href=\\\"ipl://403//W10=////\\\">Business Advising Program</a> certificate, preparing by taking a few summer courses. She encouraged those thinking of law school to take time to make an informed decision about whether and where to go.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;And once you&rsquo;re there,&rdquo; Nelson said. &ldquo;Set yourself up for success by pursuing everything you can, especially the internships and externships, and the relationships with faculty and practitioners in the community.&rdquo;</p>\\r\\n<p>The summer after her first year of law school, Nelson was selected by the Pennsylvania Office of General Counsel for its prestigious externship program and placed in the Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs. She researched and drafted responses on infractions found by members of various business boards.</p>\\r\\n<p>Prior to attending law school, Nelson interned for United States Congressman Robert C. \\\"Bobby\\\" Scott for a year in his Richmond office, where she acted as a liaison for federal agencies, state agencies, and advocacy groups.</p>\\r\\n<p>Nelson has learned from experience that just going to law school does not make you marketable.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m chasing my dream by going to law school,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;But just having &lsquo;law school&rsquo; on my resume isn&rsquo;t enough.

Like you, over the last few weeks we have observed the increase of COVID-19 cases throughout the state and country. We have been watching these numbers closely and with great concern and have sought guidance from health care professionals to develop health and safety measures to protect our law school community.</p>\\r\\n<p>Despite our best efforts, with the health and safety of all as our first consideration, the University believes that it is no longer prudent to hold classes on campus this fall unless the nature of those classes requires that they be on campus. As I discuss more below, clinics and externships will continue on-campus or on-site but all other classes will be remote unless you are informed otherwise.</p>\\r\\n<p>We have been planning in earnest for this contingency and have been working all summer to adapt course delivery to an online platform so that we can continue to provide you with a rigorous and engaging law school experience. In addition to your academic courses, we will also be offering virtual programming comparable to that which you would typically see if you were on campus, such as Career Development workshops and Student Bar Association events.</p>\\r\\n<p><strong>Access to Campus</strong>. While we will not be holding on-campus classes, our campus will be open in a limited capacity. For students in need of a distraction-free work environment or a stable internet connection, our library will be open for your use. We will put measures in place to ensure safe physical distancing, but we believe we will be able to accommodate those of you in need of a work space. We are in the process of updating the new library procedures and will share them with you once finalized.</p>\\r\\n<p><strong>Microsoft Teams</strong>. We have also improved the means for you to communicate, socialize, and hold study group and student organization meetings. We are excited to announce that you now have access to Microsoft Teams, which is a feature found in Office 365. Microsoft Teams has a video conferencing feature much like Zoom, but without restrictions on the number of participants or the duration of the meeting. There is also an easy-to-use chat feature that will allow you to communicate with other students and our administrative offices. We will provide Microsoft Teams workshops at the beginning of the semester to help you familiarize yourself with its features.</p>\\r\\n<p><strong>Clinics and Externships</strong>. As I mentioned above, our Civil Law Clinic will remain open. Because the courts are open, it is important that we continue to provide valuable legal services to our Clinic&rsquo;s clients. Now more than ever, it is vital to ensure that legal services are available to those who may not otherwise have access to a lawyer. If you are scheduled to work in the Clinic this fall and have concerns in light of this announcement, please contact Professor Scott as soon as possible. Similarly, externship placements will continue in-person unless the supervising attorney at your site directs you otherwise. If you have concerns about your externship placement, please contact Professor Simcox.</p>\\r\\n<p><strong>Orientation and Introduction to Legal Process. </strong>All Orientation sessions and Introduction to Legal Process classes which will now be held virtually. We will provide you with the links to access these sessions during the first week in August.</p>\\r\\n<p><strong>Administration Offices</strong>. Our administrative offices will also be fully operational, albeit virtually. Our staff stands ready to assist you, and you should feel free to reach out as needed.</p>\\r\\n<p><strong>Updates via Email</strong>. Email will continue to be our primary means of communication with you. Dean Teplitz will continue to send you email updates, so you please check your Widener email on a daily basis. We will also be updating the FAQs on the COVID-19 page of our website to provide you with transparency and the most up-to-date information that is available.</p>\\r\\n<p><strong>Upcoming Town Hall</strong>. Finally, I would like to invite you to join me on Monday, August 10th at 6:00 p.m. for the Welcome to Fall 2020 Community Town Hall Meeting. Please feel free to send your questions to Dean Teplitz or use the chat feature during the event. She will be in touch with the log-in information in an upcoming e-mail.</p>\\r\\n<p>We know this is disappointing news for you. We are disappointed also. We are taking these steps, however, out of an abundance of caution and with the health and safety of our law school community in mind.</p>\\r\\n<p>We appreciate the grace and professionalism with which you have conducted yourself. These are trying times and you have consistently risen to the challenge. I have no doubt that you will continue to do so.</p>\\r\\n<p>Please feel free to reach out to Dean Teplitz with your questions or concerns.</p>\\r\\n<p>Best Regards,</p>\\r\\n<p>Michael J.

In 2020, DePasquale won the Democratic primary in the race for the 10th Congressional district.</p>\\r\\n<p>In concluding his final term in office as the state&rsquo;s fiscal watchdog, DePasquale says he is most proud of an audit that led to fixing Pennsylvania&rsquo;s child-abuse hotline, where some 58,000 calls had gone unanswered, reducing the number of untested rape kits in Pennsylvania and across the nation, and recommending improvements in the state&rsquo;s response to the opioid crisis.</p>\\r\\n<p>Audits conducted under his watch identified more than $1.05 billion in misspent or potentially recoverable state money, including in several major state institutions such as the Philadelphia School District and the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority.</p>\\r\\n<p>Although he is not a practicing attorney, DePasquale says learning the reasoning skills and developing the ability to understand legal and policy documents and draft legislation has served him well in government and elected office.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;Widener taught me that words matter, where a comma is placed matters, and where there&rsquo;s room for interpretation of policy or not,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s where the law school training comes in.&rdquo;</p>\\r\\n<p>DePasquale lives in York County, with his wife, Tracey, and their two children.

Hemingway, and Mary Kate Kearney.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;Having the head start in TAP really helped prepare me for the next three years,&rdquo; Ugarte said. &ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t realize how much work goes into law school and got a good taste of it that summer. I would recommend the program for anyone; it is a great way to experience law school before making a commitment to it. TAP was also a wonderful and unique opportunity to prove that despite my low college GPA and an average LSAT score, I too could endure the rigor of law school and become an attorney, despite what the statistics might say. It gave an opportunity to me that other universities did not, and, because of that, created a career path for me that I am most grateful for.

Schwab is thankful for the second chance that Widener University Commonwealth Law School gave her after she was not admitted in the spring of 1989. Her college grades were excellent, but her Law School Admission Test (LSAT) score was not. She was given the option of enrolling in the Trial Admission Program. She took it, and by August was among the members of the law school&rsquo;s inaugural class.</p>\\r\\n<p>The TAP program is offered to applicants who excel in only one of the two required areas for admission &ndash; grade point average and the LSAT. TAP students take three short-version law school classes &ndash; Contracts, Torts, and Legal Methods &ndash; and are offered a law school spot if they achieve a grade point average of 2.3 or higher.</p>\\r\\n<p>Today Schwab, who is a magistrate judge for the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, said that she doubts she would have taken the LSAT again if Widener had simply rejected her.</p>\\r\\n<p>&rdquo;I was busy, I was an adult &ndash; I would have assumed I just wasn&rsquo;t a good fit for law school,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;And what a shame that would have been because I love being a lawyer and have had so many wonderful opportunities because of it.&rdquo;</p>\\r\\n<p>Schwab, the valedictorian of the class of 1992, had been a standout student at Wilkes College, graduating <em>summa cum laude</em>.

I got good grades in all three classes, which really boosted my confidence.&rdquo;</p>\\r\\n<p>Schwab, who passed the bar on her first attempt, praised the professors she had that summer, saying they never treated the TAP students as anything less than bona fide law students, saying they demonstrated a real commitment to their students&rsquo; success.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;If you are offered a chance for a spot in law school via TAP, take it,&rdquo; Schwab advised. &ldquo;TAP is a microcosm of law school.

It comes as no surprise that it was the <a href=\\\"ipl://513//W10=////\\\">Veterans Initiative</a> that drew her to Widener University Commonwealth Law School.</h4>\\r\\n<p>Born at the United States Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Moses was a military brat times two; her father was a Marine and her mother was a Navy Yeoman. When her parents retired from active military service, they moved to Meadville, providing Moses with Pennsylvania roots. Later, when her mother went to work for NASA, the family moved to Huntsville, Alabama, where Moses graduated from high school.</p>\\r\\n<p>Moses&rsquo;s father continues to serve in the Alabama National Guard.</p>\\r\\n<p>Moses began her college career at the Marion Military Institute in Alabama, but transferred to Edinboro University after learning about a medical condition that made her ineligible for service in any branch of the U.S. military during her induction into the Air Force in the fall of 2015.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;That was a big hit for me,&rdquo; Moses said. &ldquo;I had to really dig deep and find my motivation about how best to move forward.&rdquo; Coming home to Pennsylvania made sense, and she threw herself into college, graduating on time in the spring of 2018 with a major in political science and a minor in business.</p>\\r\\n<p>Spending a semester working in state government as part of The Harrisburg Internship Semester of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education gave Moses her next career goal &ndash; working as an attorney for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;If I can&rsquo;t wear the uniform of the United States Air Force,&rdquo; Moses said to herself during her junior year in Harrisburg. &ldquo;I can go to law school, wear a suit, and serve the public by working for the state.&rdquo;</p>\\r\\n<p>Assigned to work on the Lt. Governor&rsquo;s Veterans Affairs Task Force during her Harrisburg semester, Moses met then Widener Law Commonwealth Dean Christian Johnson, chair of its Legal Services Committee, at her very first meeting. Moses said that she followed up as soon as she could without being too pushy after the dean gave her his card and encouraged Moses to call him if she was considering law school.</p>\\r\\n<p>Moses is looking forward to her final year of law school and is not phased by the fact that instruction will be online because of the COVID-19 pandemic. After working for Pennsylvania State Senator Art Haywood last semester, her interest in working state government has only grown. She says that her number one goal during her final year is to pull her grade point average up.</p>\\r\\n<p>Moses said she would tell anyone considering law school, military or otherwise, that time management is a big part of the challenge.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;I thought I knew how to manage my time,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;But I definitely learned I needed to improve those skills.&rdquo; &nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p><em>Interview was conducted in Summer 2020.</em></p>\",\n    \"box_content\": \"<h5 style=\\\"text-align: left;\\\">Contact Information<br /><br /></h5>\\r\\n<p style=\\\"text-align: left;\\\"><strong>Admissions Office&nbsp;<br /></strong><strong>Phone:</strong> 717.541.3903<br /><strong>Fax:&nbsp;</strong>717.541.3999<br /><strong>Email:</strong>&nbsp;<a href=\\\"mailto:admitcwlaw@widener.edu\\\">admitcwlaw@widener.edu</a>&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<h5 style=\\\"text-align: center;\\\"><strong><br />CONNECT WITH US!<br /><br /></strong><a title=\\\"Follow us on Facebook\\\" href=\\\"https://facebook.com/widenerlawcommonwealth\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\"><img src=\\\"irl://639//\\\" alt=\\\"Facebook Logo\\\" height=\\\"30\\\" width=\\\"30\\\" /></a>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<a title=\\\"Follow us on Twitter @WidenerLawCW\\\" href=\\\"https://twitter.com/widenerlawcw\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\"><img src=\\\"irl://645//\\\" alt=\\\"Twitter Logo\\\" height=\\\"30\\\" width=\\\"30\\\" /></a>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<a title=\\\"Follow us on Instagram @WidenerLawCW\\\" href=\\\"https://www.instagram.com/widenerlawcw/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\"><img src=\\\"irl://1755//\\\" alt=\\\"Instagram Logo\\\" height=\\\"30\\\" width=\\\"30\\\" /></a><br /><br /></h5>\"\n}', '', '', NULL, NULL, 0, 8, 0, 5, '2020-08-11 15:39:45', '2020-08-11 15:40:09'),

We are disappointed that the semester is not going to look as we had expected, but nonetheless we are looking forward to the opening day of the fall semester. I realize that you probably have many questions.&nbsp; Please review the <a href=\\\"ipl://740//W10=////\\\">updated FAQs</a> on the Coronavirus page on our website.&nbsp;<strong>Please also join us on Monday at 6:00 p.m. for the Welcome to Fall 2020 Town Hall meeting. </strong>&nbsp;The deans will be available to discuss the upcoming semester and to answer your questions. It will also be nice to reconvene as a community and kick-off the start of our 1Ls Orientation week. Please e-mail me your questions or you may put them in the chat box during the event.&nbsp; Please be on the lookout for an e-mail from Dean CWLaw that will provide you with the information to access the Town Hall.&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>It has been awhile since I last e-mailed you so we have a lot to catch up on!</p>\\r\\n<p><strong>Return to Campus Committee.</strong>&nbsp;Over the summer we convened a Return to Campus committee made up of faculty, staff and students to evaluate different aspects of our re-opening for Fall. At last week&rsquo;s meeting, we discussed the re-opening of the library and we need your help. Please complete the <a href=\\\"https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=FkeeUJeGJEeRadxzrg6BoisXxGSBnLNAttKHZMUeA5JUQ1dPUkVTMEQ0WFJCMkVaT041QjhPVFlCMC4u\\\">Library usage survey</a> by the end of the day this Thursday so that we can finalize the re-opening plans in a way that best meets your needs while also comporting with public health and physical distancing guidelines.</p>\\r\\n<p><strong>Student Workers. </strong>We are hiring! Do you want to work on campus? We are looking for student workers to help in the library, administrative offices, manage Zoom rooms, etc.&nbsp; Many opportunities remain available. If you are interested, please reach out to Brent Johnson (<a href=\\\"mailto:bljohnson@widener.edu\\\">bljohnson@widener.edu</a>) or Paula Heider (<a href=\\\"mailto:pmheider@widener.edu\\\">pmheider@widener.edu</a>) as soon as possible.</p>\\r\\n<p><strong>Student Organizations</strong>. The Student Bar Association is working to provide you with virtual programming this semester.

More details with a date and time to follow. The meeting will briefly cover what the Trial Advocacy Honor Society is, how to join/what the requirements are, what activities the society does, and the differences between Trial Advocacy and Moot Court. Currently, 2Ls and above are able to participate as members of the society, but 1Ls are encouraged to be witnesses and participate in other events.</p>\\r\\n<p>And finally, <strong>staffing changes.&nbsp;</strong>This summer brought changes not only to the way we will be delivering courses, but also to our staffing. When you return, you will immediately notice some staffing changes as Ed Sonnenberg (Library), Dorothy Koncar (Student Affairs), Betty Ann Mortenson (Registrar), and Bonnie Maley (Admissions) retired in July. They all left an indelible mark on our campus and we will miss them!&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>I appreciate your ongoing patience and adaptability during this difficult time. Your resilience has been extraordinary. I look forward to seeing you at the Town Hall on Monday. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>Fondly,</p>\\r\\n<p>Dean Teplitz</p>\\r\\n<h5>July 1, 2020</h5>\\r\\n<p>Dear Students,<br />I can\'t believe today is July 1st! For those of you who are taking summer classes, please remember that there are no classes on Monday in observance of the 4th of July holiday. Enjoy your day off!</p>\\r\\n<p>It is hard to imagine that we are just over 6 weeks away from the start of the Fall semester and it is even more difficult to believe that we are still living in this time of great uncertainty. While at this point, we are looking forward to resuming as many in-person classes as possible this Fall, we are also closely watching with great concern the current spikes in COVID-19 cases nationally, within Pennsylvania, and within Dauphin and our neighboring counties. We are hoping that the current spikes will not persist and are just an anomaly, but if it persists we may need to reevaluate our opening plans as keeping you safe and healthy is our priority. We believe that watching how the virus trends over the next two weeks will be critical in determining how we move forward. I know that any changes to our plan will have a great impact on you, particularly if you are in need of local housing, so please know that I will keep you apprised of any changes as soon as they are available. The COVID-19 pandemic has certainly taught us all about the need to be flexible and how to successfully pivot when circumstances warrant. Our faculty have also been working hard this summer to learn new ways to deliver rigorous and engaging courses should we need to revert to an online platform.</p>\\r\\n<p>Please remember that assuming we return to largely in-person classes as planned, we will still be flexible and will offer a remote option for those students who have health and safety concerns and do not feel safe returning to campus at this time. We anticipate that this flexibility will continue through the Spring 2021 semester unless an effective vaccine is widely available. If you do not feel comfortable returning to campus this Fall, please let me know as soon as possible. This information will help us to develop a remote learning plan for you. In addition, identifying students who will not need a seat in a classroom will assist us as we map out a course schedule that adheres to recommended social distancing and other public health guidance.</p>\\r\\n<p>Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or if I can be helpful. I appreciate your patience as we continue to navigate these uncharted waters together.</p>\\r\\n<p>On a lighter note, will anyone be watching Hamilton on Disney+ this weekend?? I can\'t wait and I have seen it twice in person!</p>\\r\\n<p>Happy Independence Day!</p>\\r\\n<p>Fondly,<br />Dean Teplitz</p>\\r\\n<h5>June 22, 2020</h5>\\r\\n<p>Dear Students,<br />The start of our Fall semester will be here before we know it and I am excited that we will largely be returning to in-person classes--especially because 72% of the students who responded to the Return to Campus survey indicated that they preferred some form of classroom instruction. Thank you to the 115 students who responded to the survey!</p>\\r\\n<p>However, returning to campus brings with it certain challenges. Did you know that our largest classroom (A180) only holds about 50 students with social distancing measures and our next largest classroom only holds about 25? Making these important health and safety accommodations requires thoughtful and creative decision making and will require the implementation of a flexible course delivery model. A one size fits all approach will simply not work next year. We appreciate your patience as we work through these issues. Please continue to check your e-mail on a regular basis so that I can keep you informed and up to date on new developments.</p>\\r\\n<p>We also recognize that some of you may not be able to return to in-person classes because of health or safety concerns. If this applies to you, please contact me and let me know of your concerns so that we can develop a remote learning plan for you. We are committed to being flexible and making accommodations for you.</p>\\r\\n<p>Meanwhile, we also need to keep our community strong and connected. I hope you will join me this Wednesday evening for the <strong>Call For Change Town Hall event at 5:30 p.m.</strong> You must RSVP in order to attend. The Zoom link for the event will be sent out Wednesday to individuals who have registered.

To ensure that the latest round of security parameters are in place for Zoom web-conferencing, please make sure to update Zoom on your device(s) to version 5.0 or higher by no later than Saturday, May 30th 2020.

Please know that we are actively planning for a semester that will be academically rigorous and engaging while also being mindful of the safety and comfort of our students, faculty, and staff. There are a lot of moving parts, including government regulations, that factor into the planning and decision making process. Your best interest drives and will continue to drive every decision that we make. Earlier today we met with the University\'s Director of Health Services to discuss measures to keep you safe. Your input is also a valuable part of our holistic planning process. To that end, please check your inboxes next week as I will be sending out a survey to get your thoughts on some of the proposed scenarios that we are working through. I would really appreciate your participation in this survey so that we can get a snapshot as to how you are feeling about the Fall semester.</p>\\r\\n<p><em>Professional Development Opportunity</em><br />We will be continuing our professional development programming this summer and will also provide you with external opportunities that we believe are meaningful. To that end, Dean Moringiello shared an interesting opportunity for you to participate in the ABA Business Law Section\'s Legal Analytics Committee meeting where they will be discussing the ethical use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the law.</p>\\r\\n<p>The virtual committee meeting will be held on June 9, at 2:00 pm EST. If you are interested in attending the meeting, please get in touch with Dean Moringiello and she will share the link with you. Better yet, join the ABA Business Law Section (free with your student ABA membership) and join the committee. If you have any interest in artificial intelligence, this will be a great opportunity for you to meet the leaders in the field.</p>\\r\\n<p><em>In Need of Professional Attire?</em><br />Finally, if you are in need of professional attire, Suits to Careers will be re-opening on June 1st. <br />Hours: Monday &ndash; Thursday from 8:30 am - 4:30 pm and Friday&rsquo;s from 8:30 am &ndash; 12:30 pm.

Also, this week we are excited to feature on Facebook some of our graduates reflecting on their law school experiences.&nbsp;&nbsp;Please be on the lookout for their words of wisdom!</p>\\r\\n<p>My next e-mail update to our current students will be next week.&nbsp;&nbsp;Please be sure to check your e-mail as it will feature a special message for you.&nbsp;&nbsp;For our graduates, I will be sending you a separate e-mail today to provide information that is specific to you and the events of this week.</p>\\r\\n<p>Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can be helpful.</p>\\r\\n<p>Fondly,</p>\\r\\n<p>Dean Teplitz</p>\\r\\n<h5>May 8, 2020</h5>\\r\\n<p>Students:</p>\\r\\n<p>Congratulations on wrapping up what has to be the strangest and most challenging semester of your education.&nbsp; All of the faculty, staff, and administration are so proud of how you have risen to meet the challenges of these uncertain times.</p>\\r\\n<p>As we wrap up the week, I wanted to share with you the following:</p>\\r\\n<p>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I have attached the recently released <a href=\\\"https://drive.google.com/open?id=11i46VfNcLaOqR1VLJdSvIGPvaW53TKNP\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\"><strong>NALP 2020 JD Advantage Career Guide</strong></a>.&nbsp; The guide includes information about career paths you can take with your law degree.&nbsp; Many of these are paths that our business advising alums take, and the guide contains a lot of great resources.</p>\\r\\n<p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We are putting together <strong>a panel of alumni who graduated in 2009-2010</strong> to speak with 2L and 3L students about graduating during a challenging job market.&nbsp; This is scheduled for next Thursday, May 14 at 12 noon.&nbsp; Registration and Zoom information are available via the events tab on CORE.</p>\\r\\n<p>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If you are planning on working this summer and would like to receive &nbsp;academic credit for an <strong>externship</strong>, please contact Professor Simcox (<a href=\\\"mailto:egsimcox@widener.edu\\\">egsimcox@widener.edu</a>) as soon as possible.&nbsp; Professor Simcox will let you know what you need to do in order to receive credit, even if the position is going to be remote/virtual.</p>\\r\\n<p>4.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I will be holding <strong>office hours</strong> next week via a Zoom room.&nbsp; I will have an open Zoom room on Monday from 3pm-5pm and Wednesday from 11:30am-1:30pm.&nbsp; If you would like to meet, you can log on <a href=\\\"http://click.12twenty.com/ls/click?upn=jYqaieYVmpj-2Bb2PjmmR-2Bk3OAkr5-2BlyHks0adp45lHhJKeWZ-2Bx4i6XNUZF5kbvuHrO6Qt_irUxw1ArmRTxGF4vo9t0BUqab8MPrh6ROeFyiT2VX4K5szY6h6vvBlw0vKBoRddHstL99tt-2FRA0szy8-2FsZN-2BC1yiGJR0VOC-2BwEAjElKAERJEzYE5rWMiK297bPoqwRJojzbaTGixezdu-2FniFzYRYYQH53mtPlxUxMgB3GyBVJGM8jAwp8-2F-2BM8rmr2JA2u5hFq9igc4e0x9-2Fj-2Bpnba9JjfBdAFcGJv9eo-2F9xEcBk-2F530-3D\\\">here.</a>&nbsp; You will be placed into a waiting room upon joining.</p>\\r\\n<p>5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Please continue to check CORE for <strong>new summer, fall, and post-graduate opportunities</strong>.&nbsp; We are working with employers to identify opportunities for our students and alumni and will post them as they come in.</p>\\r\\n<p>6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Graduating students, please keep an eye out for an email from me on Monday regarding <strong>ABA/NALP employment data collection</strong>.&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>Congratulations again to all of you on wrapping up finals and finishing the semester!&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<h5>May 6, 2020</h5>\\r\\n<p>Dear Students,</p>\\r\\n<p>As we approach the end of finals week, I hope you have fared well and will be able to decompress following this challenging semester. I am so proud of you all.</p>\\r\\n<p>I have received a few questions regarding the status of your school store orders. We checked with the vendor and it is anticipated that they will begin shipping this week. You should have your new Widener Law Commonwealth gear very soon.</p>\\r\\n<p>I also thought it would be useful to inform you of a few items that we have been working on:</p>\\r\\n<p>First, we have updated our COVID-19 web page. We have refreshed this page to include the most up-to-date information that is currently available--including an important message from Dean Johnson that discusses planning for the Fall 2020 semester. <a href=\\\"//commonwealthlaw.widener.edu/current-students/coronavirus/a-look-forward/\\\">Click here to read Dean Johnson\'s message.</a> Additionally, please review our updated <a href=\\\"#faq\\\">FAQ page.</a></p>\\r\\n<p>Second, we are aware that some of you had planned to sit for the New York bar exam and are disappointed in the decision that the New York Court of Appeals released earlier this week that gives priority registration to students graduating from New York-based law schools. In response, Dean Johnson has been working with a national coalition of law school deans to try to resolve this issue for our students and has signed on to a letter asking that this decision be revisited and offering proposals to resolve their concerns about meeting capacity. We are hopeful that the national outcry from law school deans will encourage reconsideration of this decision.</p>\\r\\n<p>Third, for our students who will be studying for the bar this summer, please be on the lookout later this week for an e-mail from Professor Robinette that will include application information for our summer bar prep tutoring program. I hope you will take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. Moving forward, you can expect that Professor Robinette will be your main contact regarding bar exam preparation issues and program updates.</p>\\r\\n<p>I look forward to next week when we will celebrate our graduates at both the 3L Farewell and the Virtual Celebration. Please remember that the Virtual Celebration is asynchronous. While the program link will go live on Sunday, May 17th at 11:00 a.m., graduates can choose when they would like to watch it with their family and friends to celebrate. Let\'s show our graduates some love--please give them a virtual shout out on your social media channels next week!</p>\\r\\n<p>Please let me know if you have any questions.</p>\\r\\n<p>Fondly,<br />Dean Teplitz</p>\\r\\n<h5>May 4, 2020</h5>\\r\\n<p>Students:</p>\\r\\n<p>As we begin another week at home, I wanted to pass along some resources and updates which you may find helpful.</p>\\r\\n<p>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We have created the &ldquo;<strong>Widener Law Commonwealth Networking Group</strong>&rdquo; on LinkedIn.&nbsp; The group is open to students, alumni, and friends of the school, and was designed to provide a forum where students can virtually introduce themselves to potential mentors.&nbsp; We&rsquo;ve had a number of alumni register over the past few days and they look forward to meeting you on the site.</p>\\r\\n<p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I have <a href=\\\"https://drive.google.com/open?id=16eFtfZhwr-EeZ8hW0_exk_kFZ5kOSj6W\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">attached a resource published by Baker Donelson</a>, an AmLaw 100 law firm, titled, &ldquo;<strong>Successfully Navigating the Legal Field in the Midst of COVID-19</strong>&rdquo;. Written by some of the law firm&rsquo;s associates, the resource provides advice on how to make the best of your summer experience; making the best of this time; and preparing yourself for any outcome.&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Most of the <strong>GPALS-sponsored job fairs</strong> are being postponed until next January/February, including the Philadelphia Diversity Job Fair - PADJF (normally held in July), Delaware Minority Job Fair &ndash; DMJF (normally held in the summer), and the GPALS Job Fair (normally held in September).&nbsp; Details will be sent out as they are finalized.&nbsp; In the meantime, if you are interested in participating in DMJF, you can set up your account <a href=\\\"http://click.12twenty.com/ls/click?upn=jYqaieYVmpj-2Bb2PjmmR-2Bk4v1ztn9tOLipqpibzXfbYxZ4hbnMcSBh6y2EsuK3ZhEsaZmzMebni5uJQ9hElbhXQ-3D-3DwJJf_irUxw1ArmRTxGF4vo9t0BUqab8MPrh6ROeFyiT2VX4KE78VCGmnNJJYxnf9iy1gZaKX-2FDdRMjWk9Pzv3jW8ZjYeuu2oazOyPijzdldICH-2BjCu0-2Fu-2B0MCnDqmpYKB9oCLlE5ibo-2BYjhDBeoPYlVxaadQ-2FU-2B7SvdGO9k0S-2FiyvvEz0apppljMo8H2Lwrhu0ePVUglXUSECmAZzJVl7uPkQY2FvPbdEb6DchrTPsKjydxw-3D\\\">here</a>.</p>\\r\\n<p>4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We plan to continue our regular <strong>Lunch &amp; Learn</strong> series over the summer months. &nbsp;These will be offered via Zoom and recorded for later viewing.&nbsp; Alumni are able to attend as well, so those of you who are graduating, your ideas are very much welcome, too! &nbsp;If you have any suggestions on topics you would like us to offer, please email me at <a href=\\\"mailto:elmandrell@widener.edu\\\">elmandrell@widener.edu</a>.&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Please check CORE for <strong>new summer, fall, and post-graduate opportunities</strong>.&nbsp; We continue to work with employers to identify opportunities for our students and alumni.&nbsp; Additionally, please email me (<a href=\\\"mailto:elmandrell@widener.edu\\\">elmandrell@widener.edu</a>) if you would like to set up a time to &ldquo;meet&rdquo;, if you would like me to review your resume or cover letter, or if you would like to discuss your job search.&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>Congratulations to those of you who have finished your exams and continued best wishes to those who have exams this week!&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<h5>May 1, 2020</h5>\\r\\n<p>Happy Friday!<br />I know I said my next e-mail update would be on Monday but I have some Bar exam information to share so Eden and I switched days. Please be on the lookout for her Career Development e-mail on Monday as she is developing a cool virtual networking opportunity for you.</p>\\r\\n<p>As I mentioned earlier this week (in an e-mail to our graduating students), we reached out to the major commercial bar prep providers to see if there were schedule changes given the postponement of the Pennsylvania Bar. To date, we have connected with PMBR and Themis.</p>\\r\\n<p>PMBR<br />PMBR has changed the dates for the live course. They have cancelled the 5/7 - 5/15 dates. Instead the first session will run 5/18 - 5/24. For the second session, PMBR is working on adding June 4th, 5th, and 8th through 12th. The second session dates should be confirmed in the next few days.</p>\\r\\n<p>Themis<br />The schedule for Themis is determined by the start date of the student. The lectures are already &ldquo;open&rdquo;. Traditionally students are encouraged to start around May 18th <br />but in light of the delay the recommendation has changed to a June 15th start date.</p>\\r\\n<p>Tips from Prof. Meadows on Staying Fresh<br />Take this opportunity to either do practice multiple-choice questions on a regular basis or review subjects that you feel particularly weak on. Use bar outlines if you have them or class outlines if you don\'t and, as a supplement to their written materials, reach out to your professors to strengthen you knowledge in your weaker subject areas.</p>\\r\\n<p>I would also recommend that you use this opportunity to take a break, recharge, and regain your focus. Develop a study plan that is realistic and that you can stick to. Put it on your calendar to hold yourself accountable to that plan. Also, to build on Prof. Meadows\' tips above, remember that you will still have access to the online library study aids until the Bar if there is an area of the law where you would like some extra resources.</p>\\r\\n<p>Fingerprinting<br />I confirmed with the Bar Examiners today that Idemia/IdentoGO is permitted to operate in Pennsylvania as an essential business. While all of their facilities are not open, many are. (Check the IdentoGO website in order to confirm center closures/hours.) However, please note that in Pennsylvania, even though fingerprinting is an admission requirement, it is not an item that must be completed before the bar exam. So, you have many months to accomplish this.</p>\\r\\n<p>Finally, on a much lighter and totally unrelated note, the Dauphin County Bar Association has cancelled its summer volleyball league. Instead, it will hold a volleyball tournament on Thursday, August 13 at 5:45 p.m. and if needed a second night on Thursday, August 20th. If you are interested in playing, please let me know and I will get back in touch once I have more details.</p>\\r\\n<p>Please let me know if you have any questions. I hope final exams are going well.</p>\\r\\n<p>Have a great weekend!</p>\\r\\n<p>Best,<br />Dean Teplitz</p>\\r\\n<h5>April 29, 2020</h5>\\r\\n<p>Dear Students,<br />I hope your final exam period is off to a strong start! I am happy to report that from the administrative side of final exams, things are going very smoothly. Please remember that a Zoom room will be staffed from 7:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. (Monday-Saturday) during the exam period. If you experience any issues, technical or otherwise, please pop into the Zoom room so we can assist you in real time. You can access the Zoom room by using this link: <a href=\\\"https://widener.zoom.us/j/7175413956\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">https://widener.zoom.us/j/7175413956</a>. Also, if you need assistance when the Zoom room is closed, please e-mail cwreg@widener.edu so that there is a time stamp to document your issue. If you have a submission issue, you should also use this e-mail to submit your exam as an attachment.</p>\\r\\n<p>Calling all volleyball players--we could still use a few more students to join our summer team. Our graduating students are also welcome to play on the team--it\'s a great stress reliever while you are studying for the Bar! The Dauphin County Bar Association runs a volleyball league on Thursday evenings throughout the summer (schedule to be announced but games are usually at 5:45 or 6:45). The volleyball league is a major part of the culture of the Dauphin County Bar Association. It draws a large number of attorneys, paralegals, (and judges) and will provide you with a fun and casual way to make connections in our local legal community. Beer, soda, and snacks will be provided and there is no cost to you. Last year, we had a Widener team and I think a great time was had by all. You don&rsquo;t need to have experience or be a great athlete&mdash;you just need to be committed to showing up and having fun. While we currently have enough participants to form a team, there is not a lot of cushion if players need to miss a game and we do not want to forfeit because that impacts teams outside of our school. Please let me know by the end of the week if you are interested. I hope you will take advantage of this opportunity.</p>\\r\\n<p>Finally, as your are aware, the Pennsylvania Bar has been postponed until September 9 &amp; 10th. The law school has reached out to PMBR, Barbri, and Themis to determine whether this will impact the bar prep course schedule. As soon as we have more details, I will pass them along to you.</p>\\r\\n<p>Absent any emerging information that needs to be shared, my next scheduled update will be on Monday. Please be on the lookout for Dean Mandrell\'s Career Development weekly wrap-up this Friday.</p>\\r\\n<p>Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can be helpful.</p>\\r\\n<p>Best,<br />Dean Teplitz</p>\\r\\n<h5>April 28, 2020</h5>\\r\\n<p>Dear Students,</p>\\r\\n<p>I am writing to provide further clarity and updates regarding the administration of the Pennsylvania Bar Exam.</p>\\r\\n<p>The Pennsylvania Board of Law Examiners just announced that the July 2020 bar exam has been postponed until September 9 &amp; 10, and the Court has approved a limited license for July 2020 bar exam applicants.</p>\\r\\n<p>Attached is a <a href=\\\"https://drive.google.com/open?id=1VtVxKSVURLHGn7xitgLdi3dOVqZKj-xR\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">press release from the Pennsylvania Board of Law Examiners</a> and an <a href=\\\"https://drive.google.com/open?id=1i-UeVhQAEisWigr_sx4u3O9W_6tmcLeT\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">Order from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court</a>.

I am so proud of you. I feel grateful every day for the opportunity to work with such a talented and kind group of students.</p>\\r\\n<p>As you go into this final exam period, I know you are feeling exhausted and stressed, but you are in the home stretch. No matter what&mdash;DO NOT give up now! You can do this!</p>\\r\\n<p>I know some of you are feeling uneasy about the logistics surrounding the administration of final exams. I understand that the new exam process, coupled with the high stakes of exams is unsettling, but I promise you that we got this. Molly, Jess, and Betty Ann in the Registrar\'s Office have been working very hard to make this as user friendly as possible for you. If there are bumps, we will fix them. Please do not panic-- just be sure to communicate with the Registrar\'s Office or me if you encounter any difficulties. Tomorrow, the Registrar\'s Office will be sending out FAQs regarding exams. Please be sure to review the FAQs and also the exam schedule and submission instructions (with screen shots) at this link: <a href=\\\"ipl://258//W10=////\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">{wwwroot}academics/curriculum/class-and-exam-schedules/</a>. This should provide you with all of the logistical information that you need. Also, as you are taking your exam, it is highly recommended that you frequently back up your work product to the cloud to give you some extra insurance.<br /><br />If you are feeling anxious, deep breathing exercises are scientifically proven to help lower your stress level and help you to regain your focus. Here, are a couple of quick examples: <a href=\\\"https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/anxiety-zen/201701/3-essential-exercises-calm-anxiety\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/anxiety-zen/201701/3-essential-exercises-calm-anxiety</a><br /><br />Eat well, get rest, and take care of yourself . Take some time in the sun to re-focus yourself.<br /><br />Be on the lookout for Dean Mandrell\'s Career Development e-mail update tomorrow. Beginning next week, you can expect e-mails from me on Monday and Wednesday and Dean Mandrell will e-mail you on Friday. However, please do not hesitate to reach out if you ever need anything.</p>\\r\\n<p>I am very proud of you and will be rooting for you!</p>\\r\\n<p>Best wishes for a successful final exam period!

Bowen School of Law.&nbsp; You may not have had the opportunity to get to know him because he joined us not too long before our operation were moved off-campus.&nbsp; Dean Kearns has taken over the leadership of our Admissions Office, and while he obviously did not expect to be working remotely in his new position, he has embraced the challenge and has been doing a lot of creative programming to build the next class of students that we will welcome to our Widener Law Commonwealth family.</p>\\r\\n<p>Since moving off-campus, the Admissions Office has had to cancel all on-campus events and stop recruitment traveling, however, the change has provided us with an opportunity to reassess the admissions processes and innovate our practices. Our Accepted Students Day moved online and we now have a hub of information and videos tailored to accepted students. We are hosting weekly virtual events to engage prospective students such as our Online Information Sessions, Preparing for Law School Faculty Panel, Class Sit-in, and Experiential Programs Panel.

Please check tomorrow for final updates to the course offerings.&nbsp; &nbsp;Please note that a Negotiations class has been added to the summer schedule and will run on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.&nbsp; Also, there have been several questions about the Essential Legal Skills class that is on the schedule.&nbsp; This class is a required course for the incoming 1L class; it is not a class that current students will take so please do not consider this as part of your course planning.</p>\\r\\n<p>Finally, next week, Allura Lawrence from Financial Aid, will be hosting multiple town hall events to answer your questions about summer financial aid.&nbsp;

We know that many of you have lost paid employment and externship opportunities.&nbsp; We know that you have health concerns, child care issues, and family worries.&nbsp; We know that the uncertainty surrounding the bar exam has understandably created much anxiety.&nbsp; We know that many of you are suffering.</p>\\r\\n<p>While we have tried to alleviate as much of your anxiety as we are able to by adopting flexible policies, offering continuing programming, and providing daily communications, we know that this is only a small piece in a much larger puzzle and many of those puzzle pieces are simply out of our control.&nbsp; Despite that fact, we work hard every day to try to find ways to make things a little better.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p><strong>To that end, in an effort to assist our students who have sustained unexpected losses related to the COVID-19 pandemic, I am pleased to announce that we have established an emergency fund, in partnership with AccessLex, that will provide small one-time grants to students in need.</strong>&nbsp; You will find the eligibility criteria and the grant application attached to this e-mail.&nbsp; [<a href=\\\"https://drive.google.com/open?id=1WRd3u8u32HgINolwXQiDkdj-eIvL1Sq2\\\">Description</a> &amp; <a href=\\\"https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Q1RV8o-5GzFcmzKKwuJEC5TfGd2jtatu\\\">Application</a>] Please know that the information in your application is strictly confidential and you should send your application directly to me.&nbsp;&nbsp;Funding is limited, but we will disburse funds to as many qualifying students as we are able to until the fund is depleted.&nbsp; If you are in need, I strongly encourage you to apply.</p>\\r\\n<p>Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can be helpful.</p>\\r\\n<p>Fondly,</p>\\r\\n<p>Dean Teplitz</p>\\r\\n<h5>April 14, 2020</h5>\\r\\n<p>Dear Students,</p>\\r\\n<p>As we look towards summer/fall course registration which will open on Monday, it was important for us to make decisions on how summer courses will be administered so that you can plan your schedule accordingly.&nbsp; To that end, out of abundance of caution, we have decided to move the summer session online.&nbsp; We have also decided that it was important to increase our course offerings to give you additional credit bearing opportunities and thus we are adding experiential classes to the summer and pre-semester schedule.&nbsp; To increase your schedule flexibility, some of these courses will also be offered during the day.&nbsp; This amended schedule will be posted later this week.&nbsp; Please note, however, that if you are a student accepted into the Civil Law Clinic this summer, you will be expected to participate in-person as soon as the Governor allows for us to re-open campus.&nbsp; You should not expect that a position at the Clinic will be a remote working position&mdash;even if it begins that way.</p>\\r\\n<p>We also recognize that final exams are quickly approaching and that there is still some outstanding logistical information that you need in order for our exam period to run smoothly.&nbsp; While I expect and hope that your professors have already communicated with you about their exam format and expectations, we will be posting a master list tomorrow, as well as instructions related to exam access, timing, and submission. &nbsp;Please remember that if you intend to handwrite your final exams, you must contact Molly Acri at <a href=\\\"mailto:mmacri@widener.edu\\\">mmacri@widener.edu</a> as soon as possible.</p>\\r\\n<p>I have also received many questions about the status of exam deferrals.&nbsp; It appears that most of those deferrals are no longer necessary. Generally, where you have a take home exam that is due on the same day as a timed exam, you are no longer eligible for a deferral as long as you have been given more than 24 hours to complete the take-home.&nbsp; However, I will be re-reviewing each deferral request in conjunction with your exam schedule because I know there may be situations that still warrant a deferral.&nbsp; I will address each request on a case-by case-basis based on your individualized schedule.&nbsp; For those of you who have submitted deferral requests, we will confirm with you by early next week the status of your request.&nbsp; Thank you for your patience as we work through this final piece of the exam process.</p>\\r\\n<p>Lastly, in case you missed the Lunch and Learn today with the Lancaster County Bar Association, you can view the program at this link:&nbsp;<a href=\\\"https://widener.zoom.us/rec/share/ycZrF5PaqWVLRqvi0x72X4g9IYXZeaa81CAeqaAFzUqwH43YLOczfO7A6qbA_lZa\\\">https://widener.zoom.us/rec/share/ycZrF5PaqWVLRqvi0x72X4g9IYXZeaa81CAeqaAFzUqwH43YLOczfO7A6qbA_lZa</a></p>\\r\\n<p>Also, don&rsquo;t forget that the CDO has another program planned for next Tuesday at NOON on Sports Law. Larry Cohen, a&nbsp;sports&nbsp;executive and Associate Clinical Professor of&nbsp;Sports&nbsp;Management at Drexel University, will discuss the different career paths available to those who are interested in&nbsp;sports&nbsp;law.&nbsp; Whether you are considering becoming&nbsp;a lawyer for a professional team or league, a&nbsp;sports&nbsp;agent, or pursuing any number of other&nbsp;sports&nbsp;law careers, you\'ll want to join in to hear about the steps you can take now to start down that path. Sign up through CORE.</p>\\r\\n<p>Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.</p>\\r\\n<p>Be well.</p>\\r\\n<p>Fondly,</p>\\r\\n<p>Dean Teplitz</p>\\r\\n<h5>April 13, 2020</h5>\\r\\n<p>Dear Students,</p>\\r\\n<p>Many thanks to our students who attended the graduate meeting/listening session this afternoon.&nbsp; It was amazing to see so many of you all at once.&nbsp; I miss my students!</p>\\r\\n<p>This e-mail serves as a recap of the meeting for those of you who were unable to attend.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; While the information in today&rsquo;s update does not pertain to all of our students, I think it is important for the entire campus community to be aware of information related to an event as significant as commencement.&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>But, before I do that I wanted to take a moment to remind you that tomorrow the Career Development Office will be offering a Lunch and Learn at NOON in partnership with the Lancaster Bar Association.&nbsp; Also, next Tuesday at NOON, there will be a Lunch and Learn offered on Sports Law.&nbsp; Sign up for both events on CORE.</p>\\r\\n<p>So, back to my meeting recap. . . As was previously announced, it was with sadness that we unfortunately had to make the decision to postpone the live commencement ceremony until Sunday, December 13, 2020 at 11:00 a.m.&nbsp; This decision was made because of the uncertainty as to when the Governor&rsquo;s stay at home order would be lifted, the recommendation to maintain social distances, and because the ceremony venue, The Forum, has been closed until further notice.&nbsp; This was a University-wide decision.</p>\\r\\n<p>While we are pleased that we have been able to reschedule the live commencement ceremony at the Forum, we collectively believed that it was important to commemorate your accomplishment on May 17<sup>th</sup>.&nbsp; To do that, we are planning a virtual celebration that spotlights each of our graduates, our student award winners, and our graduating students who are working on the front lines of this pandemic from first responders to our military to our healthcare workers to our grocery store employees.&nbsp; If you are a graduating student who has been working in a life sustaining position of any kind during the COVID-19 pandemic, please let me know so that we can recognize and thank you.</p>\\r\\n<p>Also, in order to prepare our virtual celebration, you will be receiving an e-mail in the next day or so from <a href=\\\"mailto:commencement@widener.edu\\\">commencement@widener.edu</a> that provides instructions that will help us to personalize your slide.&nbsp; You will have the opportunity to upload a professional headshot (or we can use your composite photo), provide the phonetic pronunciation of your name, and provide a 150 character &ldquo;shout out&rdquo; to your #1 supporter while in law school<strong>.&nbsp; It is very important that you provide the phonetic pronunciation of your name this week as there is a lengthy lead time necessary to get your name recorded</strong>.&nbsp; This virtual celebration is asynchronous and will open at 11:00 a.m. on May 17<sup>th</sup>.&nbsp; You will be able to share this celebration with your family and friends.&nbsp; Please check you spam folder and let us know if you do not receive this e-mail by Wednesday.</p>\\r\\n<p>We also hope that you will join us on Friday, May 15<sup>th</sup> at 4:00 p.m. for the 3L Farewell.&nbsp; We thought it was important to end your year with a synchronous gathering to celebrate with each other, particularly given the abrupt nature of the end of your on-campus experience.&nbsp; At the 3L Farewell, we will have the &ldquo;world premiere&rdquo; of the 3L slideshow, drawings for Widener swag, and surprise guests.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>During our meeting we also discussed the importance of keeping us up to date on your current mailing and e-mail address.&nbsp; In the coming months, we will be mailing you your diploma and your class composite photo.&nbsp; (When this will occur, will depend on when we are permitted to resume operations on campus.)&nbsp; We will also need to communicate with you about the logistics of the live ceremony such as the distribution of regalia and tickets.</p>\\r\\n<p>For more information, you can access the recording of today&rsquo;s program using this link:&nbsp;<a href=\\\"https://widener.zoom.us/rec/share/4eJ6LqzUpk1Ifq_n9n3dXYkwFNXVT6a8h3RN-PMKmBksHIiVJWAreFoP69R5SmIN\\\">https://widener.zoom.us/rec/share/4eJ6LqzUpk1Ifq_n9n3dXYkwFNXVT6a8h3RN-PMKmBksHIiVJWAreFoP69R5SmIN</a> (Access Password: H3^48$m7).&nbsp;

Speaking of breathing, did you know we added a Law &amp; Mindfulness elective to the Fall schedule?&nbsp; If you have an open elective, I encourage you to check it out.&nbsp; <a href=\\\"https://www.cbs.com/shows/the-late-show-with-stephen-colbert/video/B19AB7F1-A3D1-6AD0-D662-3E0AA6E1D720/alicia-keys-gives-all-of-us-her-phone-number-srsly-it-s-917-970-2001/\\\">Click here</a> to watch Alicia Keys discuss her use of meditation and demonstrate her technique.&nbsp; The Harvard Business Review also discusses the benefits of mindfulness and meditation in this interesting <a href=\\\"https://hbr.org/2015/12/how-meditation-benefits-ceos\\\">article</a>.</p>\\r\\n<p>As we look towards summer and hopefully resuming our sense of normalcy, I wanted to inform you of a great opportunity for both networking and fun.&nbsp; The Dauphin County Bar Association runs a volleyball league on Thursday evenings throughout the summer (schedule to be announced). The volleyball league is a major part of the culture of the Dauphin County Bar Association.&nbsp; It draws a large number of attorneys, paralegals, (and judges) and will provide you with&nbsp;a fun and casual way to make connections in our local legal community.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;Beer, soda, and snacks will be provided and there is no cost to you.&nbsp; Last year, we had a Widener team and I think a great time was had by all.&nbsp; You don&rsquo;t need to have experience or be a great athlete&mdash;you just need to be committed to showing up and having fun.&nbsp; We need about 15 people in order to register our team and the team needs to consist of both men and women&mdash;according the league rules at least one woman needs to be involved in every play.&nbsp; I hope you will take advantage of this opportunity.&nbsp; If you are interested in signing up, please let me know by April 17<sup>th</sup>.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>My next update will be on Monday.&nbsp; Enjoy your weekend.&nbsp; Stay strong and motivated as we make this final push to the end of this crazy and historical semester.&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>Please let me know if I can be helpful.</p>\\r\\n<p>Best,</p>\\r\\n<p>Dean Teplitz</p>\\r\\n<h5>April 8, 2020</h5>\\r\\n<p>Dear Students,</p>\\r\\n<p>Today&rsquo;s e-mail update is directed at our graduating students and provides an update as to the status of the Pennsylvania Bar Exam and the upcoming PMBR bar preparation program. Please be sure to read through to the end of this e-mail as it contains extremely time sensitive information.</p>\\r\\n<p>As I have previously communicated, the Deans of the Pennsylvania law schools have been actively working to find meaningful alternatives for you in the event that the July Bar is postponed.&nbsp; The Deans, with guidance from national and state stakeholders, have proposed to the Pennsylvania Board of Law Examiners, temporary licensure as one of those alternatives, similar to a plan that was adopted earlier this week in New Jersey.&nbsp; <a href=\\\"https://www.njbarexams.org/court-order\\\">Click here</a> to review the order entered by the New Jersey Supreme Court.&nbsp; These discussions are ongoing and we believe will be resolved in the near future.&nbsp; Also, please note that today, the Bar Examiners extended the timely payment of the application fees to May 30, 2020.&nbsp; <a href=\\\"https://www.pabarexam.org/pdf/covid%20letter.pdf\\\">Click here</a> for more details.</p>\\r\\n<p>I know there have also been many questions surrounding the administration of the PMBR course.&nbsp; I am pleased that we now have some details that we can offer.&nbsp; As of now, PMBR will offer a <u>live, synchronous, online</u> PMBR course to Widener Law Commonwealth students combined with another law school. The 7-day course will run twice. Session 1 will be May 7-8, and 11-15 and Session 2 will be May 18-24. Between these 14 days of PMBR classes, you can pick and choose when you attend. For example, if you miss Contracts in the first session, you can pick it up in the second session. If the PA Board of Bar Examiners changes the July bar, then the dates of one or both of these sessions may change.</p>\\r\\n<p>The live online sessions will allow you to ask questions of the professor. PMBR will also have a teaching assistant attending each session to help with technical issues and to run a chat session that you can use to ask questions during the presentation.</p>\\r\\n<p>PMBR is an effective, time-tested bar preparation and we highly encourage all students to enroll. Widener offers this program to you at the low cost of $35.00. The retail cost is around $800.00. <strong>It is imperative that you register by the end of this week&mdash;but, the sooner the better.</strong> PMBR is concerned that at some point it will be unable to ship the books because its warehouse may be shut down. If that happens, you will only have access to online versions of the PMBR books. I think you will benefit from having the paper books. In addition to the book for the 7-day program, you will also get the PMBR Redbook, which contains almost 700 additional practice MBE questions. Here&rsquo;s the link to register for PMBR: <a href=\\\"https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=FkeeUJeGJEeRadxzrg6Bosb4N1WoOH5GlSovD_mCncpUNjAzUERVRzU4SzBMUkpaMFIyNFQ0UkxEVS4u\\\">https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=FkeeUJeGJEeRadxzrg6Bosb4N1WoOH5GlSovD_mCncpUNjAzUERVRzU4SzBMUkpaMFIyNFQ0UkxEVS4u</a>. Even if you don&rsquo;t think that PMBR is for you, please fill out the registration so we can plan accordingly. If you have already registered for PMBR, you can disregard this information.</p>\\r\\n<p>If you have any questions about the PMBR program, please reach out to Professor David Raeker-Jordan as soon as possible.</p>\\r\\n<p>I hope this e-mail provides you with some additional guidance.&nbsp; I will keep you updated as further information develops.</p>\\r\\n<p>Best,</p>\\r\\n<p>Dean Teplitz</p>\\r\\n<h5>April 7, 2020</h5>\\r\\n<p>Dear Students,</p>\\r\\n<p>Thank you to the 1L students who came to the 1L Registration Orientation earlier today.&nbsp; If you missed it, you can watch the recording at this link:&nbsp; <a href=\\\"https://widener.zoom.us/rec/share/ufVtDY3y51hJHYWRr0fBQYUEM4DAaaa803QYr6ELmEdia0nnambbowskm50-SUBT\\\">https://widener.zoom.us/rec/share/ufVtDY3y51hJHYWRr0fBQYUEM4DAaaa803QYr6ELmEdia0nnambbowskm50-SUBT</a></p>\\r\\n<p>Remember that Molly Acri and I will be holding an informal session for all students on Thursday at NOON to answer your registration questions.&nbsp; Please join us using this link:&nbsp; <a href=\\\"https://widener.zoom.us/my/rbteplitz\\\">https://widener.zoom.us/my/rbteplitz</a></p>\\r\\n<p>Need help with employment/externship issues?&nbsp; Dean Mandrell is scheduling one-on-one appointments through CORE.&nbsp; Sign-ups are now available.&nbsp; Also, if your employment or externship plans have been disrupted, you may want to consider requesting a financial aid loan increase.&nbsp; If you have not maxed out your loan for this year, you may be eligible to obtain additional funds.&nbsp; Review your award letter and contact Allura Lawrence (<a href=\\\"mailto:aalawrence@widener.edu\\\">aalawrence@widener.edu</a>)&nbsp; to determine your eligibility.&nbsp; Please note however, that May 1<sup>st</sup> is the last day that Allura will be able to certify loan changes.</p>\\r\\n<p>Reminder&mdash;the school store is open until Friday.&nbsp; <a href=\\\"https://widnerspring2020.itemorder.com/\\\">Click here</a> to make your purchases.&nbsp; Also, don&rsquo;t forget that SBA voting will open on Thursday at 5:00 a.m. and will close on Friday at 11:59 p.m.&nbsp; Voting will occur on the SBA TWEN page.&nbsp; Thank you to everyone who threw their hats in the ring.&nbsp; Your commitment to our Widener community is appreciated.</p>\\r\\n<p>The following races are contested:</p>\\r\\n<p><u>Candidates for SBA President</u>:&nbsp; Calvin Pierre &amp; Gabriella Romeo</p>\\r\\n<p>*All students are eligible to vote for SBA President.</p>\\r\\n<p><u>Candidates for 2RD Representative (2 openings &amp; you select 2)</u>:&nbsp; Oscar Collazo, Jessica Layton, Sean Peterson, Joelle Rolko, &amp; Quinn Stasa</p>\\r\\n<p>*Only 2RD students are eligible to vote in this race.</p>\\r\\n<p>I hope you are well and staying safe.&nbsp; Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can be helpful.</p>\\r\\n<p>Fondly,</p>\\r\\n<p>Dean Teplitz</p>\\r\\n<h5>April 6, 2020</h5>\\r\\n<p>Dear Students,</p>\\r\\n<p>I hope you had the opportunity to get outside this weekend and enjoy some fresh air.&nbsp; I can tell you &ldquo;What&rsquo;s Not Trending at Widener&rdquo;&mdash;my idea to compile a list.&nbsp; But, no worries&mdash;not all of my ideas can be winners! J</p>\\r\\n<p>First, please remember that Molly and I will be hosting Zoom sessions related to Registration this week on Tuesday and Thursday at NOON.&nbsp; The Tuesday session is specifically geared towards 1Ls and we strongly recommend that all 1Ls &nbsp;attend; Thursday&rsquo;s session will be an open forum for anyone with questions.&nbsp; You can access both sessions using this link:&nbsp; <a href=\\\"https://widener.zoom.us/my/rbteplitz\\\">https://widener.zoom.us/my/rbteplitz</a></p>\\r\\n<p>Second, and more significantly, I wanted to provide you with an update related to the administration of the Pennsylvania Bar Exam.&nbsp; Today, the Deans of the Pennsylvania Law Schools met with the Pennsylvania Board of Law Examiners.&nbsp; Dean Johnson reports that it was a very productive conversation where everyone is working collectively to find a solution that best serves the bar takers.&nbsp; The Law Examiners have agreed to pause and not make a final decision for at least 7 days to allow the Deans to submit specific tangible proposals for them to consider.&nbsp; They have scheduled another meeting for next week to review the Deans&rsquo; proposals and continue the discussion.&nbsp; We know this issue has been weighing heavily on your minds and we are closely monitoring the situation locally and nationwide.&nbsp; We hope to get this resolved for you as soon as possible.&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>Third, please remember that this Thursday is a make-up day for classes and there are no classes on Friday.&nbsp; Enjoy the long weekend!</p>\\r\\n<p>Last, but certainly not least, earlier this evening, Dean Johnson sent our graduating students an e-mail providing information about the unfortunate postponement of the May commencement ceremony.&nbsp; Obviously, we are disappointed that we will not be able to celebrate as we had originally hoped.&nbsp; However, we do not want your accomplishments to go unnoticed in May so we are planning virtual celebrations to recognize your achievements.&nbsp; Please mark your calendars for these important dates:</p>\\r\\n<p>Monday, April 13 at 1:00 p.m.: &nbsp;Graduate Meeting.&nbsp; We will answer questions and provide information about our virtual celebrations. Please join us using this link:&nbsp; <a href=\\\"https://widener.zoom.us/j/7175413956\\\">https://widener.zoom.us/j/7175413956</a></p>\\r\\n<p>Friday, May 15 at 4:00 p.m.:&nbsp; 3L Farewell Virtual Tribute&mdash;Details to be announced.</p>\\r\\n<p>Sunday, Mary 17 at 11:00 a.m.:&nbsp; Virtual Graduation Celebration&mdash;Details to be announced.</p>\\r\\n<p>Sunday, December 13 at 11:00:&nbsp; Commencement ceremony at the Forum.</p>\\r\\n<p>As always, please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.</p>\\r\\n<p>Fondly,</p>\\r\\n<p>Dean Teplitz</p>\\r\\n<h5>April 3, 2020</h5>\\r\\n<p>Dear Students,</p>\\r\\n<p>As promised, I am happy to share with you some updates regarding the administration of final exams.&nbsp; Please note that there are still some logistics that need to be worked out but we wanted to provide you with a general framework to assist you with your planning.&nbsp; The faculty listened to your concerns and worked hard to find a solution that best serves the greater Widener student community.&nbsp; I think the below parameters will serve you well this exam period.</p>\\r\\n<p>First, we will not be administering exams using ExamSoft this semester; instead, we will use TWEN.&nbsp; In TWEN, you will have the ability to download the exam, type your answers in Word and then upload the Word document back to the TWEN assignment link.&nbsp; In addition, because all exams will be open book, using TWEN will allow you to access all of your outlines and course materials.&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>Second, exams will be administered either as a take-home exam or as a timed exam.&nbsp; Your professors will advise you of the assessment method that they have selected.&nbsp; If the exam is a timed exam, you can expect that extra time will be provided to account for external issues that may interfere with your taking of the exam.&nbsp; For example, you might be given 4-hours to take a 3-hour exam.&nbsp; Exams will be self-timed and verified by the Registrar&rsquo;s Office.</p>\\r\\n<p>Third, you will also be given a 24-hour window in which to complete your timed exam.&nbsp; However, once you start the exam you will need to complete it according the assigned time constraints.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;For example, if you are scheduled to take a 3-hour exam (in which 4-hours are allotted) on May 10<sup>th</sup>, your exam window may open at 5:00 a.m. on May 10<sup>th</sup> and you will have until 4:59 a.m. on May 11<sup>th</sup> to complete it.&nbsp; You can decide when within those 24-hours to take your exam, but once you start it, you will need to complete it.&nbsp; So, if you choose to start your exam at 7:00 p.m. on May 10<sup>th</sup> you will have until 11:00 p.m. on May 10<sup>th</sup> to upload your completed exam.&nbsp; Please note that the times in these hypotheticals are just for demonstrative purposes; we are still working out the actual time frames.</p>\\r\\n<p>Fourth, if you are a student who chooses to handwrite final exams, we will be able to accommodate you.&nbsp; Please contact Molly Acri ASAP at <a href=\\\"mailto:mmacri@widener.edu\\\">mmacri@widener.edu</a> to let her know that you intend to handwrite your exams and we will provide you with the logistical details.&nbsp; I hope this alleviates the concerns that some of you have raised.</p>\\r\\n<p>Finally, while your professors will be providing you with the details related to the administration of their exams, I expect that we will have a master compilation of each professor&rsquo;s method of assessment and time frames available to disseminate to you late next week.&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>I hope this gives you a good idea as to how we intend to approach our upcoming exam period.&nbsp; Some of the fine details still need to be addressed but this overarching structure should serve as a solid guide.&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>We appreciate your patience as we work through the remaining details.&nbsp; We are trying to approach this methodically and thoughtfully so as to avoid unnecessary confusion and anxiety.</p>\\r\\n<p>On a different note, if you missed today&rsquo;s Employment Town Hall, you can watch the recording at this link:&nbsp;

This is the date that is being used to determine who is counted and where they are living on April 1, 2020.&nbsp; It is important that you be counted because shifting population numbers determine federal funding levels, congressional seats and more.&nbsp; <a href=\\\"https://2020census.gov/\\\">Click here</a> to learn more about the census and to respond to the online census questionnaire.</p>\\r\\n<p>I am happy to report that today is also Widener Law Commonwealth&rsquo;s Summer/Fall Course Schedule Posting Day!&nbsp; I have received many questions about whether we will run a Summer session if we are still practicing social distancing.&nbsp; While it is our hope and preference to offer our summer classes live and on campus, we are preparing to run them remotely in the event that it is necessary.&nbsp; Regardless of format, we will have a Summer session.&nbsp; Please note however that we have decided to move ITAP to August in order to increase the chances that it will be able to be presented in a live format.</p>\\r\\n<p>Registration opens on April 20<sup>th</sup> and we strongly encourage you to register during your assigned registration window to help improve your chances of getting the classes you need or want.&nbsp; Also, please be sure to put yourself on the waitlist of any closed classes that you would like to take.&nbsp; The waitlists tend to be very fluid so there is a good chance you will still get in from the waitlist.&nbsp; We are also still exploring a few additional course options for Fall so stay tuned for possible updates.</p>\\r\\n<p>If you are planning on doing an externship for credit this summer or fall, please reach out to Professor Simcox so that she can discuss your eligibility and the curricular requirements.&nbsp; She can be reached at <a href=\\\"mailto:egsimcox@widener.edu\\\">egsimcox@widener.edu</a>.&nbsp; Also, be on the lookout for information about participating in our on-campus Civil Law Clinic if that might be of interest to you.</p>\\r\\n<p>As previously mentioned, Molly Acri and I will be available via Zoom next week to address any registration questions that you might have.&nbsp; We have scheduled Zoom sessions as follows:</p>\\r\\n<p><u>1L Zoom Session</u>:&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Tuesday, April 7 at NOON:&nbsp; We encourage all 1Ls to participate because the registration process is new to you.&nbsp;

It is the day that I get to teach Legal Methods.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This week our 1Ls are finalizing their appellate briefs&mdash;they are in the home stretch of completing a major milestone in their law school careers.&nbsp; It is inspiring to observe their dedication and drive to succeed even in these uncertain times.&nbsp; I know that my Legal Methods class is just a very small snapshot of the commitment that is being shown by our students across their classes.&nbsp; Kudos to you for rising to the challenge!</p>\\r\\n<p>We understand that today&rsquo;s uncertainty brings with it challenges and concerns related to securing internships and identifying long term career prospects.&nbsp; To date, I know that Dean Mandrell and Professor Simcox have been fielding your questions and identifying creative solutions to help you with employment and experiential learning curricular challenges.&nbsp; On Friday at NOON, they will hold a Zoom town hall to answer your questions related to the current employment climate. This session will be recorded to accommodate students who have a class conflict.&nbsp; I will serve as the moderator.&nbsp; Please feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions that you would like addressed.&nbsp; We will get to as many questions as we can live and will follow up with those of you who have specific questions based on your individualized circumstances.&nbsp; Student names will not be identified during the town hall unless you choose to ask your question during the live session.&nbsp; You can access the town hall using this link:&nbsp; <a href=\\\"https://widener.zoom.us/j/9351964736\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">https://widener.zoom.us/j/9351964736</a>.&nbsp; Thank you to the student who reached out with this idea!</p>\\r\\n<p>Also, be on the lookout tomorrow as the Summer/Fall course schedule to be posted in the afternoon.&nbsp; I also will be providing you with more details about upcoming registration information sessions in tomorrow\'s e-mail update.&nbsp; Summer/Fall registration will begin on April 20th.</p>\\r\\n<p>Finally, in the event that you received an e-mail from the Provost this afternoon regarding the University&rsquo;s grading policy, I wanted to clarify that this is the policy that governs the programs on the Chester campus.&nbsp;&nbsp;Both law schools are operating under different policies.&nbsp;&nbsp;Please disregard the Provost&rsquo;s e-mail as it is not applicable to us.&nbsp;&nbsp;The policy that we previously communicated to you is the grading structure that we will be using for the Spring 2020 semester.&nbsp;I apologize if this created any confusion.</p>\\r\\n<p>Please stay well and reach out if you have any questions or issues that I can assist with.</p>\\r\\n<p>Fondly,</p>\\r\\n<p>Dean Teplitz</p>\\r\\n<h5>March 30, 2020</h5>\\r\\n<p>Dear Students,</p>\\r\\n<p>I hope you had a nice weekend despite the dreary weather.&nbsp;&nbsp;We celebrated my son&rsquo;s 15<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;birthday which I am sure will be one that he never forgets.&nbsp;&nbsp;I bet he never thought he would spend his birthday working on a 1,000 piece puzzle!&nbsp;&nbsp;(He just finished it!)&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>Staying connected is so important.&nbsp;&nbsp;I am so glad to have connected with some of you on Friday for a virtual coffee date and again during Yappy Hour.&nbsp;&nbsp;I hope we can continue to do this.&nbsp;&nbsp;Please remember that there is another Yappy Hour scheduled for this Friday at 4:00&mdash;pets are not required to join!&nbsp;&nbsp;If you didn&rsquo;t join us last week, you missed meeting Prof. Kearney&rsquo;s Great Dane.&nbsp;&nbsp;You never know who will pop in during Yappy Hour!</p>\\r\\n<p>Speaking of connecting, when you join your Zoom classes, please be sure to use your first and last name.&nbsp;&nbsp;It can be difficult for professors to track attendance and encourage participation when there is only a first name provided&mdash;particularly in larger classes.</p>\\r\\n<p>Last Friday, I promised that I would keep you up to date on the evolving information surrounding the administration of the July bar examination.&nbsp;&nbsp;Some you may already be aware that late Friday, the New York Bar decided to postpone its examination to a date that has not yet been determined.&nbsp;&nbsp;In response, the Deans of all of the Pennsylvania law schools, have united and drafted a letter to the Pennsylvania Board of Law Examiners urging them to look at creative alternatives and move forward with the July bar if it is practicable.&nbsp;&nbsp;They have requested a meeting with the Bar Examiners and have also extended offers to aid with the administration of the exam like use of facilities, technology, and staff.&nbsp;&nbsp;I will continue to keep you posted as this develops further.</p>\\r\\n<p>On a lighter note, the SBA has been getting many requests for Widener Commonwealth gear so that have arranged for a pop-up school store that will go live this Wednesday and will run until Friday, April 10th.&nbsp;&nbsp;At this time, the vendor believes that they will be able to fulfill your orders.&nbsp;&nbsp;If they cannot, you will be refunded.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you choose to place an order, items will be shipped directly to you (but note that shipping costs may apply).&nbsp;&nbsp;I will provide the link tomorrow and it will also be posted on our Facebook class pages.</p>\\r\\n<p>As always, please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.&nbsp;&nbsp;I appreciate your patience as I work through my e-mails but I am glad to hear from so many of you on a regular basis.</p>\\r\\n<p>Fondly,</p>\\r\\n<p>Dean Teplitz</p>\\r\\n<h5>March 27, 2020</h5>\\r\\n<p>Dear Students,</p>\\r\\n<p>As our first full week of Zoom classes comes to a close, I hope you have made a smooth transition and are adapting as well as possible.&nbsp;

As of today, this is what we know:</p>\\r\\n<p>At this time, the bar exam remains scheduled for July 28-29, 2020. You should continue as usual in registering and preparing for the bar exam.&nbsp;The National Conference of Bar Examiners (NBCE), which provides the questions for the MBE and the UBE, announced that it will decide no later than May 5, 2020 on whether it will administer the bar exam in July 2020. Plans are underway to have an additional testing date in fall 2020 but no date has been selected yet.</p>\\r\\n<p>In addition, all of the Deans of the law schools in this region met yesterday to discuss the administration of the Pennsylvania Bar Exam and to develop contingency plans if needed.&nbsp; They are collectively uniting to engage with the Pennsylvania Board of Law Examiners in order to formulate a plan that will best serve our bar candidates.&nbsp; However, those plans will ultimately hinge on whether the NBCE releases the MBE questions.&nbsp; Dean Johnson will also be participating in a call later today with the NBCE.</p>\\r\\n<p>Please proceed as if the bar is going to take place as scheduled.&nbsp; I encourage you to register for PMBR if you have not already done so.&nbsp; While we are unsure at this time if PMBR will be offered live, the course will still be available in an online format.&nbsp; Questions about PMBR should be directed to Professor David Raeker-Jordan (<a href=\\\"mailto:draeker-jordan@widener.edu\\\">draeker-jordan@widener.edu</a>).</p>\\r\\n<p>I will continue to provide you with updates related to the bar exam as the information becomes available.&nbsp; Please also remember to check our FAQ page for updates at:&nbsp; <a href=\\\"ipl://742//W10=////\\\">{wwwroot}coronavirus/</a><u>.</u></p>\\r\\n<p>Please continue to check your e-mail as I anticipate major news to report next week related to final exams.&nbsp; Also, remember that the summer/fall course schedule will be available by April 1.</p>\\r\\n<p>Have a great weekend.&nbsp; Please let me know if you need anything.</p>\\r\\n<p>Fondly,</p>\\r\\n<p>Dean Teplitz</p>\\r\\n<h5>March 26, 2020</h5>\\r\\n<p>Dear Students,</p>\\r\\n<p>I am very excited to invite you to a Zoom Yappy Hour tomorrow at 4:00 p.m.&nbsp; Attached please find the <a href=\\\"https://drive.google.com/open?id=1VY3mTDhbS1Frjx6SkWacJe2tY8SBT1ps\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">event flyer</a>.&nbsp; Thank you to the Program for Health, Exercise &amp; Wellness (PHEW) for organizing this event and recognizing the importance of our Widener community staying connected.</p>\\r\\n<p>I have also appreciated connecting with many of you over the last few days to answer your questions related to the Spring 2020 grading policy.&nbsp; For today&rsquo;s update, I thought it would be worthwhile to share some of the commonly asked questions that I have received since the policy was released.</p>\\r\\n<p>As always, please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.</p>\\r\\n<p>See you tomorrow at Yappy Hour!</p>\\r\\n<p>Best,</p>\\r\\n<p>Dean Teplitz</p>\\r\\n<p><strong>CAN I ELECT TO TAKE GRADES V. CREDIT ON A COURSE-BY-COURSE BASIS?</strong></p>\\r\\n<p>Yes!&nbsp; You do not have to choose one or the other.&nbsp; You may make that determination on a course-by-course basis.&nbsp; For example, if you have 5 classes, you can take 3 classes for the grade and 2 classes for credit.&nbsp; You could also take 5 classes for a grade or 5 classes for credit.&nbsp; You have the power to decide what is in your best interest.</p>\\r\\n<p><strong>HOW DOES THIS NEW POLICY IMPACT MY CUMULATIVE GPA (CGPA)?</strong></p>\\r\\n<p>Courses that you take for credit will not factor into your CGPA calculation.&nbsp; So, if you take all of your classes this semester for credit, your CGPA will be the same as it was following the Fall 2019 semester.&nbsp; Your CGPA will only be adjusted if you choose to take courses for a grade.</p>\\r\\n<p><strong>HOW MUCH WILL MY CGPA IMPROVE IF I CHOOSE TO TAKE GRADES FOR COURSES</strong>?</p>\\r\\n<p>It depends.&nbsp; There are a lot of variables that factor into this.&nbsp; For example, choosing a grade for only 2 of your credits will have less of an impact than if you choose grades for 12 of your credits.&nbsp; In addition, the number of credits that you have already accrued is a factor.&nbsp; The more credits you have already earned, the harder it is to move your CGPA.&nbsp; For these reasons, the answer will vary depending on your unique circumstances.&nbsp; This is where Molly Acri and I can assist and provide you with options counseling following the release of grades.</p>\\r\\n<p><strong>HOW WILL MY RANK BE AFFECTED?</strong></p>\\r\\n<p>Class rank/percentages will be re-calculated following the Spring 2020 semester.&nbsp; If you choose to take all of your courses for credit, even though your CGPA will not change, it is still possible for your rank to change.&nbsp; This will depend on your classmates, particularly those with CGPAs close to you, and the choices that are made in taking grades versus credit.&nbsp; The more grades a student takes, the more their CGPA will move.&nbsp; By contrast, the fewer grades you take, the less your CGPA will move.&nbsp;This is why we encourage all students to persist and stay motivated so you can perform at the highest level that you are able given the circumstances.&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p><strong>HOW WILL A CREDIT GRADE BE REFLECTED ON MY TRANSCRIPT?</strong></p>\\r\\n<p>Dean Acri is working with national registrar&rsquo;s organizations to determine how this will be reflected on your transcript.&nbsp; While we do not have the specific language yet, we expect that there will be a statement on your transcript that explains that the courses on your transcript for this semester were the taken during the COVID-19 pandemic.&nbsp; This will provide context for the credit/no credit grade option.</p>\\r\\n<p><strong>IF I TAKE A COURSE FOR CREDIT, WILL IT MAKE ME LESS COMPETITIVE IN THE JOB MARKET?</strong></p>\\r\\n<p>Dean Mandrell does not believe that this will cause you to be less competitive in the job market.&nbsp;She has been involved in conversations on a national level and with local employers who understand that we are in the midst a situation that is beyond our control.&nbsp; Employers will place more weight on your academic performance in the past and/or in the future.&nbsp; Taking courses for credit this semester, should not significantly impact your competitiveness as long as you are able to demonstrate your performance under more normal circumstances.&nbsp; If you would like to connect with Dean Mandrell about this or any other employment-related matters, please contact her at <a href=\\\"mailto:elmandrell@widener.edu\\\">elmandrell@widener.edu</a></p>\\r\\n<p><strong>WHAT ABOUT DEAN&rsquo;S LIST FOR SPRING 2020?</strong></p>\\r\\n<p>We will be suspending the Dean&rsquo;s List for Spring 2020 semester.&nbsp; There is no way to accurately calculate a Dean&rsquo;s List given the grading choices that are available.&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p><strong>I TOOK A PRE-SEMESTER COURSE, HOW WILL THAT GRADE BE CALCULATED?</strong></p>\\r\\n<p>While we recognize that the coursework for those classes was completed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, because those courses are considered part of your Spring 2020 semester, there is no clear way for us to differentiate those courses on your transcript.&nbsp; For the sake of clarity and consistency, pre-semester courses will also be governed by the Spring 2020 grading policy and as such you may choose to keep the grade or convert it to credit or no credit.</p>\\r\\n<h5>March 25, 2020</h5>\\r\\n<p>Dear Students,</p>\\r\\n<p>By now, with the exception of Wednesday only classes, you have likely attended all of your classes via Zoom.&nbsp; Now that we are becoming more familiar with Zoom and its features, I think it is a good time to review some remote learning netiquette.&nbsp; Please remember:</p>\\r\\n<ul>\\r\\n<li>Turn on your camera&mdash;if you have an issue that precludes you from using your camera you must get permission from your professor to have your camera turned off.&nbsp; <u>You are required to turn your camera on and will not be counted as attending if it is off</u>.</li>\\r\\n<li>Point your camera at your face.&nbsp; You continue to be a part of a classroom community.&nbsp; It is hard to maintain a classroom presence if your professor and classmates can only see your ceiling or floor.</li>\\r\\n<li>Set up your learning space prior to the start of class.&nbsp; It is distracting to others if you are walking around with your webcam on while class is in progress.&nbsp; We understand that many of you have learning environments that are prone to distraction; it is okay if you need to step away for a short time.&nbsp; That is preferred to you taking the entire class with you.</li>\\r\\n<li>Mute your microphone unless you are participating to reduce feedback and background noise.</li>\\r\\n<li>Check your e-mail.&nbsp; Some professors have set up recurring meetings that have generated individualized Zoom links that are different from the ones that were provided on the master spreadsheet.&nbsp; In these instances, the links that your professor has e-mailed you will supersede the link on the master spreadsheet.&nbsp; If you have not received information about this from your professor, you should use the link in the spreadsheet.</li>\\r\\n</ul>\\r\\n<p>We appreciate your cooperation with the above guidelines.</p>\\r\\n<p>Earlier this week, I provided you with updated information related to LexisNexis&rsquo; online resources and promotions.&nbsp; Today, I will focus on Bluebook Online and West Academic Study Aids.</p>\\r\\n<p><strong>Bluebook Online.&nbsp; </strong>Access keys for the online version of the Bluebook are available (although, the Legal Methods professor in me is wondering why you don&rsquo;t have a Bluebook&mdash;just saying).&nbsp;That said, if you are interested in accessing the Bluebook Online, please contact Brent Johnson via e-mail and he will provide you with the access code and instructions on how to sign-up for this 60-day subscription.</p>\\r\\n<p><strong>West Academic</strong>&nbsp;is providing and adding additional content to our current study aid package.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>Our&nbsp;current study aid package&nbsp;includes&nbsp;a comprehensive digital collection of study aids, treatises, audio lectures, and newly added audio books totaling over 500+ titles.&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Practice exams</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>multiple choice examples</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>essay questions/answers</strong>, are available within certain series of the study aids.&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Interactive practice questions&nbsp;</strong>allow you to take self-paced quizzes and immediately see results with informative explanations.&nbsp; The Exam Pro Series with quizzes include:<strong>&nbsp;</strong>Business Associations, Civil Procedure, Contracts, Federal Income Tax, Property, and Torts.&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Supplemental practical skills,</strong>&nbsp;with titles from the Bridge to Practice Series, Building Skills Series, and Developing Professional Skills Series, allow you to supplement your core materials with skills exercises.&nbsp; And&nbsp;<strong>audio lectures</strong>&nbsp;from the Sum and Substance and Law School Legends Series simplify difficult subjects and provide you with exam tips as you listen.</p>\\r\\n<p>The&nbsp;<em>new</em>&nbsp;<strong>formative assessment</strong>&nbsp;content that has been&nbsp;<em>temporarily</em>&nbsp;added to our study aid package allows you to add quizzes to your eProducts bookshelf.&nbsp;&nbsp;The following topics are available:&nbsp;&nbsp;Administrative Law,&nbsp;Business Organizations, Civil Procedure, Comml Law-Sales And Leases, Comml Law-Secured Trans., Comml Law-Survey, Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure, Criminal Procedure &ndash; Adjudicative, Criminal Procedure &ndash; Investigative, Dispute Resolution, Environmental Law, European Union Law, Evidence, Legal Writing, Professional Resp/Ethics, Property, Remedies, Tax-Income, Torts, and&nbsp;Trusts and Estates.</p>\\r\\n<p>Students that already have a West Academic study aid account, will simply be able to \\\"toggle\\\" back and forth between the study aids and the assessment platform.&nbsp; One side will say, \\\"Access my Digital Study Aids,\\\" the other will say, \\\"Access My eProducts Bookshelf.\\\"&nbsp; All others will need to create an account with their Widener email.</p>\\r\\n<p>Also being provided by our vendors:</p>\\r\\n<p>Westlaw Edge is currently offering national webinars geared towards helping students with their assignments, as well as those from its Prepare to Practice series. Students can register for these webinars at lawschool.thomsonreuters.com.&nbsp; They are also providing free access to some of their CLE programs, events, and skills courses from West LegalEdcenter.&nbsp; For more information, view the course list here: WLEC Academic Outreach Course List.&nbsp; They will also continue to offer a robust collection of assignable online legal research training and certification materials within its Knowledge Center.&nbsp; This collection ranges from research process tutorials, demonstration of key functions within Westlaw and Practical Law, as well as skills in transactional and litigation research. You can see a list of their current offerings here.</p>\\r\\n<p>Lexis Advance is doing a \\\"Prepare to Practice\\\" certification with several modules to complete:&nbsp;<a href=\\\"https://tinyurl.com/sdlv33r\\\">https://tinyurl.com/sdlv33r</a></p>\\r\\n<p>We hope you take advantage of these additional supportive resources.&nbsp; Also, please do not hesitate to contact or amazing library team if you need assistance.&nbsp; They are fully operational from their remote locations and are happy to help.</p>\\r\\n<p>Susan Giusti:&nbsp;

Dean Johnson just sent you the details of the policy that was passed by faculty earlier today.&nbsp; While it is impossible to please everybody, I think this policy represents a fair compromise and gives you the ability to self-determine how you would like your grades to be counted.&nbsp; This structure gives you the power to choose what is best for you given your unique and individualized circumstances.&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>As we get closer to grade release, I will provide you with more details about how to convert your grades.&nbsp; Also, after grades are released, Molly Acri and I will also be available for &ldquo;counseling&rdquo; to help you determine your best options.</p>\\r\\n<p>We recognize that you are facing challenges both personally and academically and we want to help alleviate as much of that stress as possible.&nbsp; I think this policy is a positive step in giving you closure surrounding this issue while also providing you with peace of mind.</p>\\r\\n<p>Thank you for being patient as we thoughtfully considered and worked through the logistics in formulating a policy that would most benefit our Widener Commonwealth student community.</p>\\r\\n<p>I know that questions still remain about how final exams will be administered.&nbsp; Please know that we are listening to your feedback and taking your thoughts and concerns into consideration.&nbsp; I hope to have more details related to final exams by early next week but we needed to work through the grading process first.</p>\\r\\n<p>Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.</p>\\r\\n<p>Fondly,</p>\\r\\n<p>Dean Teplitz</p>\\r\\n<h5>March 23, 2020</h5>\\r\\n<p>Dear Students,</p>\\r\\n<p>I hope you took some time this weekend to enjoy the sun and fresh air.&nbsp; I know my dog enjoyed some nice long walks this weekend.&nbsp; While the current situation is not ideal, I am grateful to have the opportunity to slow down.&nbsp; That is not something that many of us take time to do on a regular basis.&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>I have been receiving a lot of e-mails with questions concerning finals and grading.&nbsp; Please know that we are very carefully reviewing your suggestions and concerns and should have more concrete information to share with you later this week.&nbsp; Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you ever have any issues that I can help to address.&nbsp; I will continue to be transparent with you and prefer that you contact me directly opposed to being guided by rumors and gossip that may lead to unnecessary anxiety.&nbsp; After all, as your Dean of Students I am here to be a resource and means of support for you.</p>\\r\\n<p>Today&rsquo;s update will focus on LexisNexis\' online library resources.&nbsp; So as not to bombard you, I will provide information about Westlaw&rsquo;s resources in a later update.</p>\\r\\n<p>First, LexisNexis&nbsp;is providing additional content to our current study aid package.</p>\\r\\n<p>Our&nbsp;<strong>current study aid package</strong>&nbsp;includes over 160 titles.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>The&nbsp;<em>new</em>&nbsp;content that has been&nbsp;<em>temporarily</em>&nbsp;added to our study aid package now totals over 660 titles including casebooks.&nbsp; Please see the attached list of all available titles.&nbsp;&nbsp;Students that already have a LexisNexis study aid account will need to sort by practice area or search for a particular title of interest in order to see all content for that particular topic.</p>\\r\\n<p>Second, LexisNexis has launched a digital library promotion.&nbsp; <u>The first 25 Widener Commonwealth students who do the exercise that I have attached and e-mail Kaitlyn will get 300 points</u>.</p>\\r\\n<p>Third, I have attached a letter from Mary Katherine and Owen related to Table Tips opportunities and their Zoom hours.</p>\\r\\n<p>[Attachments: <a href=\\\"https://drive.google.com/open?id=11KmWCRUV7KSdi0_Vr_tBsi_wbOpOiHRp\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">Lexis Study Aids</a>, <a href=\\\"https://drive.google.com/open?id=1yjmMowpUupF92IQHmp4odwdCjoUy5xzb\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">Lexis Promotion</a>, <a href=\\\"https://drive.google.com/open?id=1WVGKeQp-ejSeOTYQsEhTiTgYso2rnuaD\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">Lexis Letter</a>]</p>\\r\\n<p>Finally, I want to end by telling you how impressed I have been with your ability to be flexible and adapt.&nbsp; I think you will find that character trait will serve you well as you embark on your legal careers.&nbsp; I am so proud of all of you.&nbsp; But, please remember that I am here for you.&nbsp; Law school is stressful under the best of circumstances.&nbsp; If you ever need someone to talk to, please do not hesitate to reach out.&nbsp; Also, LCL has assured me that they are fully operational.&nbsp; They can be reached 24 hours a day at 1-888-999-1941.</p>\\r\\n<p>I know these are difficult times.&nbsp; Try to maintain a positive attitude and find the silver lining.&nbsp; We will be okay.&nbsp; We are #StillWidener.</p>\\r\\n<p>Fondly,</p>\\r\\n<p>Dean Teplitz</p>\\r\\n<h5>March 20, 2020</h5>\\r\\n<p>Dear Students,</p>\\r\\n<p>I hope you have found your transition back to classes to be smooth and are beginning to feel comfortable in the Zoom platform. We have received positive feedback from both faculty and students and look forward to the remaining weeks of the semester.</p>\\r\\n<p>By way of update, pursuant to Governor Wolf&rsquo;s order, the Law School campus is now officially closed as educational institutions have been classified as non-essential/non-life sustaining businesses.&nbsp; As such, our faculty and staff can no longer enter or teach from the buildings and this has effectively eliminated the possibility of students returning to campus for any reason until further notice.&nbsp; But, that&rsquo;s okay, we have all proven that we can quickly adapt to these rapidly changing circumstances.&nbsp;&nbsp; Please be patient as we set up all of our systems remotely.&nbsp; We anticipate a seamless transition but at least wanted you to be aware of this development.</p>\\r\\n<p>I understand from many of you that you are interested in joining your friends via Zoom so I wanted to take this opportunity to provide you with more specific guidance. Please note that Chrome, Firefox, and Safari tend to be the most compatible browsers when working with Zoom.&nbsp; Your account will allow you to Zoom with (1) student with no time limit and (2) to (5) students for a 40-minute session that can be renewed by logging out and back in.&nbsp; I have <a href=\\\"irl://2275//\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">attached step-by-step instructions</a> for you to use to access your personal Zoom room.</p>\\r\\n<p>I hope you use Zoom to help stay connected to each other.&nbsp; Stay tuned next week as the Program for Health, Exercise, and Wellness (PHEW) is planning a Zoom get together.&nbsp; More details to come!</p>\\r\\n<p>Please let me know if I can be helpful.&nbsp; I know I am behind in answering my e-mails but will work through them this weekend.&nbsp; Thank you so much for your patience.</p>\\r\\n<p>Have a great weekend.&nbsp; Be well!</p>\\r\\n<p>Fondly,</p>\\r\\n<p>Dean Teplitz</p>\\r\\n<h5>March 19, 2020</h5>\\r\\n<p>Dear Students,</p>\\r\\n<p>Welcome Back!</p>\\r\\n<p>I am so excited to be returning to our schedule and to re-connect with all of you.&nbsp; I have found that the Zoom meetings and small group conferences that I have had with students this week have kept me focused and frankly, just have made me happier and more energized.&nbsp; I would encourage you to schedule your own Zoom meetings so that you remain connected to each other.&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href=\\\"https://widener.zoom.us/\\\">Click here</a> to log-in to your personal meeting space. I think you will find this connection to be important during this time.&nbsp;&nbsp; I am also always up for a virtual coffee date if you ever want to chat!&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>I am going to keep today&rsquo;s update short because I know you are adjusting back to classes.&nbsp; At this point, everyone should have received a copy of your course Zoom links.&nbsp; If you did not, please check your spam folder. If you experience any issues in accessing your classes, please let me know as soon as possible.&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>Please be sure to take care of yourself and others during this difficult time. After all,&nbsp;we&nbsp;are&nbsp;Widener&nbsp;Law&nbsp;Commonwealth&nbsp;wherever&nbsp;we&nbsp;are!&nbsp;Let&rsquo;s stay connected&mdash;please post your photos on&nbsp;social media&nbsp;using the hashtag&nbsp;<strong>#</strong><strong>StillWidener</strong>.&nbsp;I posted this morning&mdash;did you?</p>\\r\\n<p>Please do not hesitate to reach out if I can be helpful.</p>\\r\\n<p>Be well,</p>\\r\\n<p>Dean Teplitz</p>\\r\\n<h5>March 18, 2020</h5>\\r\\n<p>Dear Students,</p>\\r\\n<p>We are excited to be returning to our class schedule tomorrow. <a href=\\\"https://drive.google.com/open?id=1NlDvyUJeF6oesCscpSErXanTE_Ptbc3c\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">Attached please find the Zoom links</a> that you will need to access your classes. Use this link to enter your class at its regularly scheduled time unless you are instructed otherwise by your professor. Please also be sure to regularly consult your course schedule. Note that on Wednesday, March 25th, you should attend your Monday classes. Wednesday classes do not meet on this date.</p>\\r\\n<p>I am happy to report that as of today more than half of our students successfully participated in Zoom testing. As I expressed during these sessions, it is our goal to record as many classes as possible in order to protect against technical glitches and unexpected attendance issues. However, you are expected to attend the live session; the recording is simply to be used as a back-up. If you cannot participate in the live session, you must contact your professor to confirm whether a recording will be available.</p>\\r\\n<p>While campus may be closed, the Career Development Office stands ready to assist you. It is a great time to update your resume and cover letter. If you are in need of assistance, please reach out to Dean Eden Mandrell at <a href=\\\"mailto:elmandrell@widener.edu\\\">elmandrell@widener.edu</a> to schedule a Zoom appointment or phone call.</p>\\r\\n<p>Business continues as usual and with that comes course registration. You can expect that the course schedule will be posted by April 1st and registration will begin on April 20th. Molly Acri and I will be hosting Zoom sessions to answer your registration questions in early April. We will also be available to schedule Zoom or telephone appointments to discuss your specific registration needs.</p>\\r\\n<p>Finally, I have been fielding many questions about final exams and course grading. We have been working behind the scenes on this and will roll out that information to you as soon as it is available.</p>\\r\\n<p>Thank you for your patience and kind words. I cannot begin to express how much your supportive e-mails have meant to those of us who have been working around the clock to give you a positive and engaging learning experience. Our community remains strong. After all, we are Widener Law Commonwealth wherever we are! Let&rsquo;s stay connected&mdash;please post your photos on social media using the hashtag #StillWidener.<br /><br />On to tomorrow. . .<br /><br />Best Wishes,<br />Dean Teplitz</p>\\r\\n<h5>March 17, 2020</h5>\\r\\n<p>Dear Students,</p>\\r\\n<p>Thank you for participating in yesterday&rsquo;s Zoom tests. I am happy to report that about half of our students participated and we experienced very minor issues with connectivity and those issues appeared to be isolated. If you missed yesterday&rsquo;s sessions but would still like to test, I have added a final session on Wednesday, March 18 at 11:00 a.m. You may join this session by using this link: <a href=\\\"https://widener.zoom.us/my/rbteplitz\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">https://widener.zoom.us/my/rbteplitz</a>. Unless you advise us otherwise, it will be presumed that you do not have any technological or connectivity issues that will interfere with your class attendance and participation.</p>\\r\\n<p>Next, I want to provide you with the current information about upcoming events and access to campus. Upon reviewing the updated guidance from the CDC and the University, I am sorry to report that we have had to cancel the 30 Days Party, the Hugh B. Pearce Trial Advocacy Competition, Student Awards Ceremony, and the Student Organizations Cocktail Reception. Similarly, we have also had to severely restrict access to campus. We had hoped to be able to provide you with limited access to the library, but the University has made a proactive decision in order to protect our students, employees, and the greater community to close campus to non-essential employees. While our day-to-day business will continue, it will continue remotely as the majority of our employees are now working from home. That being the case, business offices, including the law library, will not be physically accessible until further notice. If you have business to conduct with the Law School, please do not hesitate to reach out via e-mail as we are still fully operational during regular business hours. Click here to access the staff and faculty directory.<br /><br />Even though the law library is physically closed, it is still open for virtual assistance. There will be live chat reference available between 9:30am and 5:30pm, Monday-Friday. Simply go to the law library home page and click on the chat widget on the left side of the page. If the chat widget is not live, you can leave an email and a librarian will get back to you shortly.</p>\\r\\n<p>In addition to Lexis and Westlaw, all students have remote access to the other databases such as HeinOnline, Ebsco, and West Academics Online Study Aids. The complete list of available databases can be found at:</p>\\r\\n<p><a href=\\\"ipl://83//W10=////\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">{wwwroot}academics/law-library/resources/database-list</a>&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>You will be prompted for a username and password the first time accessing from off-campus. The username is the name as it appears on your Widener ID. The password is the barcode numbers on the back of the Widener ID. If you have trouble with the login to the databases, send an email to <a href=\\\"mailto:refcwlaw@widener.edu\\\">refcwlaw@widener.edu</a> and a librarian will assist you.</p>\\r\\n<p>Finally, I will be sending out a spreadsheet of your Zoom links tomorrow. I had hoped to get that to you today but we are going to need until tomorrow to generate the final version.</p>\\r\\n<p>I look forward to providing you with my next e-mail update tomorrow afternoon. If you have any questions or problems, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.</p>\\r\\n<p><br />Fondly,</p>\\r\\n<p>Dean Teplitz</p>\\r\\n<h5>March 16, 2020&nbsp;</h5>\\r\\n<p>Dear Students,</p>\\r\\n<p>Thank you for your participation in today&rsquo;s Zoom tests.&nbsp; At this time, we have conducted two of the three scheduled Zoom tests.&nbsp; I am very pleased that the tests have gone smoothly and there have not been any major connectivity issues.&nbsp; If you have not already participated, I hope you will join us tonight at 6:00 p.m. for our final session.&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Remember that if you do not test, we will presume that you do not have any technology or connectivity issues.</u></p>\\r\\n<p>There has been a commonly asked question about how to manage more than one window/application (like opening Word) while Zoom/Powerpoint is being used.&nbsp; We have learned that if you hit the Escape button, the Zoom/Powerpoint window will be made smaller and then you can drag that window to the right of your screen.&nbsp; You will then be able to open Word (or whatever application you need) on the left.</p>\\r\\n<p>Next, please be sure to check your Widener e-mail.&nbsp; You can expect to hear from your professors with specific instructions about their classes.&nbsp;&nbsp; In the next few days, I will also be updating you on event and campus access information and providing you with the Zoom links to access your classes.&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>Finally, below are some suggestions for your consideration.&nbsp; We want you to remain engaged and successful despite the challenges that some may experience while adapting to the remote platform.&nbsp; I urge you to decide what your work/classroom space is going to be when online classes resume and consider what you need to get that space ready.</p>\\r\\n<p>Remember:</p>\\r\\n<ol start=\\\"1\\\" type=\\\"1\\\">\\r\\n<li>&nbsp;<strong>You are still in school and need to keep a schedule</strong>.&nbsp; Your family, friends, and even you may feel like you have more time and that is simply not the case.&nbsp; You have the same workload, academic commitments, and time constraints that you did a month ago.&nbsp; Please do not lose sight of this.</li>\\r\\n<li><strong>Resist temptation</strong>.&nbsp; It is easy to become distracted.&nbsp; Be mindful of these distractions as you are tempted to surf the internet or do your laundry while class is in session.&nbsp; If you have kids, we recognize that they may also be home with you.&nbsp; Try to set up a space in your home that becomes your dedicated &ldquo;classroom.&rdquo;&nbsp; There is a subconscious difference in learning attitude if you are sitting at a desk or table versus sitting on your couch with your computer on your lap.</li>\\r\\n<li><strong>Be an active participant</strong>.&nbsp; Prepare for class, take notes, ask questions, volunteer to answer questions.&nbsp; Commit to being an active learner.&nbsp;</li>\\r\\n<li><strong>You are still a part of a larger community</strong>&nbsp;that cares very much about you and your success.&nbsp; If you are experiencing academic, technological, or personal difficulties, please let us know.&nbsp; We are here to help.&nbsp; It may be more difficult for a professor to read non-verbal cues, so please reach out if you have questions.&nbsp; Most professors will also be holding virtual office hours in some capacity.&nbsp;&nbsp; I am also very happy to schedule appointments via Zoom.&nbsp;</li>\\r\\n</ol>\\r\\n<p>Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or problems.&nbsp; We are happy to help troubleshoot issues as they arise.</p>\\r\\n<p>Stay healthy,</p>\\r\\n<p>Dean Teplitz</p>\\r\\n<p>(<em>Adapted from:&nbsp; Natalie Rodriguez, Southwestern Law School,&nbsp;</em><a href=\\\"https://lawprofessors.typepad.com/academic_support/2020/03/online-learning-tips.html?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+typepad%2Fxoma+%28Law+School+Academic+Support+Blog%29\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener noreferrer\\\" data-auth=\\\"NotApplicable\\\"><em>lawprofessors.typepad.com/academic_support/online learning tips</em></a>)</p>\\r\\n<h5>March 13, 2020</h5>\\r\\n<p>Dear Students,&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>I hope you are well.&nbsp; Thank you for your cooperation as we continue to work through the logistics required to ensure a smooth transition to the remote learning platform.&nbsp; To that end, today&rsquo;s update&nbsp;will focus on the use of Zoom and connectivity.&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>You can expect that your classes will continue to meet&nbsp;as&nbsp;regularly scheduled via Zoom.&nbsp; You can access Zoom via a link that your professor will provide to you.&nbsp;&nbsp;The remote platform will be interactive and will replicate the classroom experience.&nbsp; Therefore, as a remote participant, you can expect to be called on much like you would if you were sitting in the classroom.&nbsp; In addition, unless otherwise notified by your professor, you will be expected to have your camera&nbsp;turned&nbsp;on during class and your microphone muted unless you are&nbsp;specifically participating.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>While I know that most of you probably have already used Zoom at some point in your academic careers, we would like to hold approximately 15-minute Zoom test sessions on Monday,&nbsp;March 16, 2020 at 10:00 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.&nbsp; We encourage you to participate&nbsp;in one of these sessions&nbsp;so that we can test your equipment and internet connectivity.&nbsp; Zoom can be accessed on a computer or through the Zoom app on your&nbsp;cell&nbsp;phone.&nbsp; These test sessions will help us to identify if there any issues that we need to troubleshoot before we go live&nbsp;on Thursday.&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Please note that if you do not participate in a test session, it will be presumed that you&nbsp;have used&nbsp;Zoom&nbsp;and/or&nbsp;do not have any equipment or connectivity issues</u>.&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>You may choose any of the three test sessions&nbsp;that is convenient for you.&nbsp; Please use the corresponding links&nbsp;below&nbsp;to enter the meeting space.&nbsp; If you are unable to join any of these sessions due to a scheduling conflict but are interested in&nbsp;doing a test run, please let me know as soon as possible.&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>10:00 a.m.:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Zoom Test Session #1:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <a href=\\\"https://widener.zoom.us/j/666127292\\\">https://widener.zoom.us/j/666127292</a>&nbsp;<br />12:30 p.m.:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

It is very quiet around here without you!&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>Have a nice weekend and stay healthy!&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>Fondly,&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>Dean Teplitz&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<h5>March 12, 2020</h5>\\r\\n<p>Dear Students,&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>As Dean Johnson indicated yesterday, each week day afternoon I will be sending an e-mail to inform you of any campus updates as this public health crisis continues to evolve.&nbsp; Please be sure to check your Widener e-mail regularly as this will be my primary method of communication with you.&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>I appreciate your kind words, patience and questions over the past 24 hours.&nbsp; Obviously, this was not the plan that&nbsp;any&nbsp;of us had in mind for this semester.&nbsp; I know that this is an unsettling turn of events and I will do everything that I can to try to alleviate your concerns.&nbsp; We have created a FAQ page that I think you will find helpful.&nbsp; This page will continue to evolve as we identify your major questions and concerns so I highly recommend that you refer to it regularly.&nbsp; I encourage you to bookmark this link:&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\\\"ipl://740//W10=////\\\">{wwwroot}coronavirus/</a>.&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>The focus of today&rsquo;s update will be on&nbsp;the academic calendar and the scheduling of final exams as I am aware that these topics are weighing heavily on your minds.&nbsp; As you&nbsp;know, we have paused classes until March 19<sup>th</sup>.&nbsp; As a result, there have been many questions as to how this time will be made up.&nbsp; Please note that the&nbsp;<a href=\\\"ipl://395//W10=////\\\">academic calendar</a>&nbsp;will remain as published and you will not lose the April 10<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;Spring holiday.&nbsp; Professors may use different methods to make up the classes that were missed this week, such as adding 5-10 minutes to the end of their remaining classes; scheduling a class session during the April 9<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;make up day;&nbsp;and/or&nbsp;&nbsp;giving&nbsp;you&nbsp;assignments&nbsp;to complete.&nbsp;&nbsp;It is within the professor&rsquo;s discretion as to how to account for the missed time.&nbsp; The last day of classes will still be April 24<sup>th</sup>.&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>The final exam period will still run from April 28<sup>th</sup>-May 11<sup>th</sup>.&nbsp; Final exams will not be offered on campus.&nbsp; Your professors will have the discretion on how to administer their final exams.&nbsp; Final exams are one of the major logistical details that your professors will be working on this week.&nbsp;&nbsp;As more information becomes&nbsp;available, either your professor or&nbsp;I will communicate it to you.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>I understand that the absence of information and the fear of the unknown creates anxiety.&nbsp; This is why I will provide you with as much information as I have available through my daily updates.&nbsp; I also spoke with Laurie Besden from LCL this morning and she asked me to remind you that they remain ready to assist, should you need their services.&nbsp; The LCL 24-hour helpline is 1-888-999-1941.&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>My next update will be tomorrow afternoon and will discuss the use of Zoom technology and connectivity testing&nbsp;so that we can ensure a smooth transition to a remote learning platform.&nbsp;&nbsp;Please review this important information when it is disseminated.&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>As always, please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.&nbsp; Please know that I will work through your questions as quickly as possible.&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>Stay healthy!&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>Fondly,&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p>Dean Teplitz&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<h5><strong>March 11, 2020</strong></h5>\\r\\n<p>Dear Students:</p>\\r\\n<p>I assure you that there are no confirmed COVID-19 cases on any Widener University campus.</p>\\r\\n<p>To prevent the spread of COVID-19, however, the University has cancelled all <u>in-person</u> classes as of tomorrow, March 12, for the remainder of the semester.&nbsp; All course will resume <u>on-line</u> via zoom on March 19<sup>th</sup>.</p>\\r\\n<p>Dean Teplitz will be sending out daily update emails to each of you using your official Widener University email accounts.&nbsp;

If you must have access to campus for any reason, you should contact Dean Teplitz.
