Tips & Tricks
Movie night? Grab the popcorn!

You can still watch Netflix, YouTube videos and more while distant (so do not let your friends make excuses for why they watched y’alls favorite TV show without you!). Check out this link for instructions on the various ways you can have an online group movie night: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/watch-netflix-with-friends-far-away/

Lunch Date!

For many of us, socializing during the lunch hour is part of our law school experience, and there is no reason to stop! Consider creating a standing lunch meeting for your small group, club, friend groups, etc. during the lunch hour! It can be a great way for people to pop in, say hello, and connect no matter where we are. Creating a Zoom meeting is easy to do and easy to share with your friends. (Note: free pizza is unlikely to materialize in your virtual law school lobby.)

Campus Access
 
The college of law campus remains open! However, while on campus, healthy habits and social distancing is encouraged. 
LOCKERS!
 
Are you stuck at your parents' house in Minnesota? Is your favorite con law textbook stuck in Tucson? Do you miss each other? You can be reunited! If you left something in your locker, email SBA President Karen Donderewicz at [email protected] and she will be your match maker.
Fitness Challenge
Each week during the next 6 weeks, a weekly fitness challenge will be given out. Anyone who completes all 6 weeks will be entered to win a giftcard.
