Law Students Collect and Donate more than 10,000 Cans of Food to Feed Florida’s Hungry
(L to R) Students Geoffrey Langbart, Sophia Mitchell, and Anna Black.
NSU Law Center students from the Public Interest Law Society and Phi Alpha Delta collected and donated more than 10,000 cans of food to benefit Feeding South Florida. The cans were collected during “Canned Immunity,” a weeklong food drive held in November.
As part of the food drive, law students donate cans in their classes to receive immunity. “Canned Immunity” is a Law Center tradition where students who bring in canned donations may be entitled to pass on a question if called on in class by their professor or select another student to act as “co-counsel” to help discuss a case or topic in class. The student’s primary motivation, however, was to reach out to those less fortunate and to ensure those fighting hunger in our community are well fed this Thanksgiving holiday. Competition played a role in the donation process. Classes competed to have the highest number of donations and Michael Flynn’s class received that honor with 4,652 cans.
