Initiative

Two farsighted students in my section started taking up Katrina donations right when school started, and got our section leader (Professor Torts) to match contributions up to $1,000 dollar-for-dollar. The law school has also pledged to match any contributions by students or staff, making for a 4x multiplier that really gets even students to open their wallets. They made an announcement this morning at the end of Civil Procedure that they had collected just over $600 from students so far and wanted to reach a thousand by the end of the day. Professor Civ Pro announced she'd follow Professor Torts' lead, and I think they had a full box by lunchtime.

This is what they're talking about when they tell you your classmates are the most amazing part of the experience.
