LSRG Projects: Each year the LSRG participates in a service project.

LSRG Events:

Flip This Lounge-November 2010

When the refrigerator broke down and created soup out of the ice cream for our 2010 Ice Cream Social, the LSRG took it upon themselves to give our faculty/staff lounge a new look. We like to call it "Flip this Lounge" our own version of the reality show "Flip this House". We lobbied the Law School for a new refrigerator, asked the Physical Plant to replace the old carpet, and we added a fresh coat of paint to brighten up the room. It turned out that replacing the carpet also included getting a new tile floor in the kitchen area. And when Carol Watson provided us with some trendy new wall decor, we felt a celebration was in order. The Staff Council hosted a "lounge warming" on November 11, 2010 to celebrate the updated look.
