Class of 2024, please join us for a discussion of the personal statement component of the Writing Competition. All students interested in joining an academic journal through the Writing Competition must submit a personal statement. A panel of 2L and 3L journal staffers will discuss strategies for approaching this component of the Writing Competition. You can sign up for the Writing Competition here. Lunch will be served following the event. 

This convening is open to all invitees who are compliant with UChicago vaccination requirements and, because of ongoing health risks, particularly to the unvaccinated, participants are expected to adopt the risk mitigation measures (masking and social distancing, etc.) appropriate to their vaccination status as advised by public health officials or to their individual vulnerabilities as advised by a medical professional. Public convening may not be safe for all and carries a risk for contracting COVID-19, particularly for those unvaccinated. Participants will not know the vaccination status of others and should follow appropriate risk mitigation measures.
