About Me

I started this blog as a way of building an online community of current and past Ivy Tech paralegal students, as well as letting people interested in our program know what we're up to. This blog is not sponsored by Ivy Tech. No way, no how.

My name is Linda Kampe, and I'm the program chair of Paralegal Studies in Lafayette, Indiana. My office is in Ivy Hall 1166. Stop by and chat. For best results, make an appointment, so I know to expect you. And if you bring your own cup, I'll make you tea. Because hey, we're not animals.

And Now, a Word from the Paralegal Society



Greetings fellow Paralegal Students,

I am Aaron Money, the President of the Paralegal Society. This announcement pertains to the Paralegal Society and what the Society does. It also is an attempt to reach out to the students that I have not meet yet or have not had the opportunity to talk to yet.

As some of you may know, there is a Paralegal Society for all the Paralegal students to join. If you are one of the new students just enrolling in the Paralegal Program, I welcome you to Ivy Tech and would love to take the opportunity to give you some information about what the Paralegal Society does for students.

One of the most important benefits of joining is gaining the ability the to communicate with other Paralegal students. This has helped several of the current students, and myself as well. It helps by building a lasting relationship with your fellow law students. It pays off when stuck on a subject or an assignment. And who does not want to make new friends?

Other than the relationship benefit, the Paralegal Society hosts several meetings and events throughout the Spring and Fall semesters. A few of the events to mention are the Talk to a Lawyer Day which is being held this semester, more information will be related to all of you later this semester. Another event is the Appeal on Wheels. This event gives Ivy Tech students the opportunity to view and listen to an actual Indiana Appeals Court case, and the hearing is held on campus. I have attended the past two Appeals on Wheels and the justices that attend are always friendly and willing to answer questions.

And finally, what I really need from very one is a response back to this email. I need to know what each student's availability is this semester because I will be switching meeting times. I am looking to hopefully have the meetings during the evening, preferably on a Monday, Wednesday, or Friday. I also need contact information from all who wish to join the Paralegal Society. If you have already paid your dues for this semester, I need the receipt as soon as possible to turn in to the Student Government/Student Life office. 

As your President of the Paralegal Society, I would like to extent to all of you my gratitude for all that you do. If there is anything I can do for any of you this semester, please do not hesitate to ask. Some of the students that know me already will hopefully tell you that I love to help my fellow students out.

Ashley Coons is the Paralegal Society Vice-President and she too can be reached for any information needed about the Paralegal Society. Ashley and I talk a lot on and off campus and are in communication with one another all the time. 

I wish everyone of you the best of luck this semester and hopefully will see you all on campus and at the meetings. If you wish to have my number, email me and I will give you my personal contact information.      
Thanks,
Aaron Money

Feel free to comment--but all comments will be reviewed by me before they get posted. I will not post anything scurrilous about Ivy Tech students, faculty, or staff, or about members of the local community. Truth is not a defense. This just isn't going to be that kind of blog.
