Reminder: Announcing the 2018-2019 the Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) University Design Competition for Addressing Airport Needs

I am writing to share the new Guidelines for 2018-2019 Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) University Design Competition for Addressing Airport Needs.  We hope that faculty will encourage university students to participate in the competition.  This is often done as part of a capstone design course, for independent credit or as a student professional society project.  Students win cash prizes and the university receives special recognition.  First place will receive $3000, second place will receive $2000, and third place will receive $1000.  First place winners present their designs at a special ceremony at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine in Washington, DC and at a relevant national conference.

Please share the attached guidelines with any one that may be interested in participating in the program. Continue reading →

  • Criminal and traffic

Our office educates students about their rights and responsibilities, provides legal advice and resources, negotiates disputes, represents them in court, and prepares them for small claims matters. In addition, we offer general informational sessions and “how-to” presentations on a variety of legal matters, such as knowledge of rights.
