Race NIjUdicata: NIU College of Law 5K Run/Walk & BBQ 2012

April 21, 2012

With spring coming sooner than you think, the College of Law wants you to dust off your running shoes, stretch those legs, and get ready to hit the road! Race NIjUdicata, the law school's third annual 5K Run/Walk, will be held on Saturday, April 21, 2012 at the NIU College of Law, Swen Parson Hall.

Inspired by our own Dean Jennifer Rosato, an avid runner in her own right, we will be looking for runners, volunteers and sponsors for this exciting new NIU Law tradition. Prizes will be awarded in several categories, and all proceeds for the event will go toward College of Law Development.

And at race's end, all will be welcome to join us for a BBQ outside of Swen Parson Hall. Sign up today!
