A friend of mine is holding a 30 minute focus group at 6:30 TONIGHT for a marketing research project. It pertains to potential law students (the client is a former attorney who holds seminar courses) and how social networks and mobile-friendliness of websites affect how you perceive companies and brands. It'll be from 6:30-7 in DH Hill Library (room A, 7th floor).
