DID YOU KNOW June 26, 2017 marked the 20th anniversary of the original publication of the first Harry Potter novel by author J. K. Rowling. Throughout the years, the series has been used to illustrate legal concepts in many subject areas including copyright law, family law, tort law, and legal education. The exhibit currently on display in the Law Library reading room celebrates the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter, and examines connections between the books and the legal world. The display runs through Sept. 15.

Green Tip: Water conservation saves money, energy and resourcesAs we move into the summertime period of heat and drought, we are reminded of the importance of conserving water on campus and at home. Simple steps to conserve water include: not watering lawns and gardens in the middle of the day; shutting the tap while brushing your teeth, shaving, or washing dishes; taking shorter showers; and immediately reporting leaky valves and pipes to Physical Plant for repair. Your efforts also help reduce utility bills and the use of energy needed to pump and treat water.
