I have currently switched my Community Partner to the Political Science Association. Currently, there has not been any conflicted between our State government or our local governments that we have gotten in the middle of. There are currently issues that we have with our state government involving better funding of higher education. We are currently planning to head to our state's capitol and voice our concerns. We will be working with other students, interest groups, and possibly even staff to push our message and make our voices heard. We basically will be taking on the role of unpaid lobbyists.
We do not currently have ours sight set on any local government. Also, there are not conflicts between state and local governments that we have concerned ourselves with. For now...

Blog topic 5 - Founders Week
On wednesday morning at 9am, I got the honor of spending the hour with the person who spoke at the roundtable that week. If you are not sure who that was, it was Professor Patricia Andrews. I was unable to go to any other Founders week events, so I showed up to class and fine tuned my Community Partner issues.

Blog topic 6 - legislative
My community partner is Diversity pipelines. They mainly focus on creating opportunities for minorities and under privileged to get into law school and pass the BAR. Since their main concern are obstacles other than current legislation, they do not aim to change or create legislation. I'm sure if they had legislation that directly affected their mission, the would support or go against the legislation, depending on its content. Currently, they are not doing anything of the sort. That being said, the second question to be addressed in the blog post is not applicable.
