Dear Friends of the UA,

We are pleased to present the first of our weekly UA Assembly Line newsletter. The purpose of this newsletter is to inform and reach out to undergraduates. That includes major initiatives of ours, recaps from UA meetings, campus ongoings, and announcements from your own groups.

With less than a semester left, the "No Stopping" street sign in the UA office is indeed true. But we can't do that without your participation and feedback. We hope you use this as a starting point by which you get involved with student government and student life.

Regards,

The 2009-2010 Undergraduate Assembly

Free Legal Services

Legal Services, a UA-GAPSA collaboration, gives Penn students access to free legal advice throughout the academic year.

We deal with all sorts of legal problems, but we do NOT handle landlord-tenant disputes or suits involving the University of Pennsylvania. Legal Services contracts local attorneys to meet with students for half-an-hour. Legal Services will handle some criminal matters, and others we can give the students names of attorneys who specialize in that area. read more »
