Best, Megan Armstrong HPILF Communications Director  Hello, HPILF Members!
The purpose of this email is to follow up from our GBM last week. Thank you so much for coming, and sorry for running out of pizza so quickly! We promise that won't happen again! Please note we will be sending out another email tomorrow with details about upcoming events. 1. 1L Reps We had a lot of interest from you all regarding becoming 1L reps! If you marked your interest – congrats, you are now a rep! I have sent out an email to everyone in the 1L rep group. If you did not receive the email and you would like to be a 1L rep, please reply to this email to let me know! 2. Student Mentor Program Please find below a link to the questionnaire you should fill out if you are a 1L and would like to be assigned a 2L/3L student mentor. We are aiming to match you with an upper division student who has similar career interests to you and who will hopefully be able to provide you with advice on working in your sector of interest. The purpose of a mentor is also to provide wisdom and advice about law school generally. Having participated in a similar program last year, I can say that it is invaluable to have someone to contact who has more law school experience under their belt! Please fill out the form by midnight, Thursday, 10th October. https://form.jotform.com/92687789400168 If you have any problems with the form, or any questions generally, please reply to this email. That’s all for now! Thank you for being members and we are so excited for the upcoming year. Best, Megan Armstrong HPILF Communications Director Good afternoon HPILF members,

HPILF (Hastings Public Interest Law Foundation) is one of the oldest student groups on campus - it was founded in 1878! It is a vital organization that supports the public interest work of students. If you are interested in pursuing a career with the government or any non-profit organization, HPILF is the organization for you! Come along to find out more about us and the benefits of working in public interest. You can meet the team, learn about our student mentorship program, and find out about our 1L rep program. We will also be talking about our annual HPILF Gala! Lunch (pizza) will be served! We can't wait to see you there. Best, Megan Armstrong HPILF Director of Communications Dear HPILF Members, To all of our new 1L members: Welcome to the Hastings Public Interest Law Foundation! To everyone else: Welcome back!

See the flyer below for details! Sincerely, Megan Armstrong HPILF Director of Communications  Leading up to PIPS Day...
The next few months are an exciting time for UC Hasting's Public Interest/Public Service-minded law students: the lead up to Public Service/Public Interest Day! (Most commonly referred to as "PIPS Day" (each letter sounded out)). PIPS Day could best be described as an OCI (On-Campus Interview) or EIP (Early Interview Program) with a sole focus on public service and public interest organizations. These organizations include state and federal government offices of every type and level, district attorney's and public defender's officers, and non-profit organizations covering everything from employment law to environmental law. UC Hastings has the distinction of hosting the only event of this type in the Bay Area, and other schools come here for our PIPS day! Over the next few weeks, we are going to have various orientation events to help you prepare for PIPS day, and it is highly recommended that you attend as many as you can and learn what this day is all about! The events are planned as follows:
Hope to see you all at these events and at PIPS day! The Hpilf Board Join us for our first General Body Meeting!
Learn about what HPILF offers to public-interest law students. When: 12pm-1pm Date: Thursday, September 13, 2018 Where: Room A, 198 Building |
