IHRLS FALL SEMESTER SCHEDULE (UPDATED)

Here is a tentative schedule of the speaking events we hope to attend as a club. I will reserve a block of tickets for each event, and hopefully we can meet as a club 30 minutes before outside the law school and attend as a group. Theres quite a few events in October, so dont feel compelled to go to all, but try to attend as many as you can!
