Organized by the Office of the Dean of Students and the D'Angelo Law Library, this Microsoft Office Training is meant to address what students will see in practice – new attorneys are expected to be  able to do anything computer-related because they are generally the youngest person on the team, yet they are at the bottom of the pecking order in terms of getting secretarial support. As we understand that is nearly impossible to teach yourself how to work in PowerPoint at 3am when a partner wants certain slides edited and the support staff have long ago gone home for the night, we are offering students a chance to get a crash course in these basic skills now. This  program will give students all of the basic Microsoft Office skills they will need during the school year, in summer employment, and as an attorney.

There is no charge for the program; students can attend the morning session, the afternoon session, or both. Lunch will be provided but you must bring your own laptop. The program will be applicable for both Mac and PC users. 

It will be held Saturday, October 22, with Word training  from 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. and Excel & PowerPoint from 1:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m., followed by a question and answer period. 

Students must register in advance for this  program at  http://www.law.uchicago.edu/microsoftofficetrainingRSVP. Please RSVP by 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 19.
