Thank you everyone for the fantastic year.  We would like to specially thank the student debaters, Amanda Melnick, Lillian Tan, Fanny Lam, and Rob McRae.  Both the torture accountability panel (with Prof. Herman moderating) and the marriage equality panel (with Prof. Tebbe moderating)  were a rousing success.  Prof. Herman gave a talk about President Obama’s record on civil liberties, and Profs. Gora and Zipkin spoke about the Citizens United case.  Many students attended the military recruitment training given by NYCLU, and we hope to continue this pro bono project in the coming year.  Race and the Law Conference, Student Day Against the Death Penalty, and the screening of American Violet were also fantastic events.

We hope that the next year will be even better.  If any ACLU chapter member has any ideas about what the chapter should be doing, please do not hesitate to reach out to the e-board.
