Great Plains Journal Symposium
Hi Everyone!
I promised more design projects & here they are! I am a member of the Great Plains Journal, and have been organizing a luncheon for all our guests and professors. I created this invitation to be sent out to the faculty of the law school as well as the history and anthropology departments here at USD. Being a staff writer, I would encourage everyone to take part in this symposium. Not only is it interesting for law, anthropology, archaeology, and history students, but it includes topics that affect all of us in South Dakota no matter your career path. (Of course, I removed a bit of personal information from the invitation)

"South Dakota has a wealth of cultural resources; however, archaeology, and how it intersects with the law, is a topic which doesn't frequently arise in formal legal education," said Erin Bradley, "Great Plains Journal" editor-in-chief. "Given the state's unique tribal heritage and the wealth of experienced professionals in South Dakota, the archaeological-legal synthesis is one which is relevant to the region in many ways. The Journal is excited to expose students, legal professionals, and the lay community to this fascinating and salient area of the law."
