Hi everyone,

This week I wanted to let you all know of some new and incredible things that have been happening on campus!

First off, we have a brand new campus! Revealed in August, it includes new lecture and seminar classrooms, new individual and group student study spaces, and my personal favorite, a brand new, state-of-the-art moot court room. It's completely stunning and if you want to see for yourself, please click here (disclaimer: these pictures were taken during the planning phase, so review them with a slight grain of salt):http://www.slaw.neu.edu/albums/2008/dockser-03/ .

Secondly, we have two new dual degree programs. They were both finalized over the summer, so we are still in the process of putting the details on our websites. Be on the lookout for more information. First, we have established a daul degree program with Brandeis' Heller School. This program will allow students to get both their J.D. and a Master's Degree in Sustainable International Development. Second, we have established a dual degree program with Vermont Law School. Under this program, students can receive both their J.D. and Master's Degree in Environmental Law and Policy - all in just three years. Very exciting!

Third, we have a brand new website that will be launched soon. I'm sure you cannot wait and neither can I!

Finally, we have new bloggers joining us this fall to give you alternative perspectives on life at NUSL...

So, those are the updates for now...if you have questions, please don't hesitate to contact me!
