Students are invited to join Ajit Pai, Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), for lunch at the College of Law. Over lunch, we will discuss the FCC's work as well as the world of federal policy more generally. This lunch is open to students from the college of Law, Business, Engineering, and Journalism. About 35 students will be selected by lottery to join us. Lunch will be provided. Law College faculty is also welcome, but should a lottery for seats be required (which is expected), students will be given preference.

Lunch will be held September 18 at 12:00PM in room 171.

Students must use their huskers email address to verify your student status.

There is room for 35 attendees. Selected attendees will be notified by September 16.
