School of Law
Giving in 2008-09
The School of Law received generous support for endowed scholarship and fellowship funds and for a faculty chair. Gifts to the school's annual fund helped support a range of priorities, including moot court competitions, visiting speakers, and a class project that paired students with experts to examine the global financial crisis. At a series of lectures and events last fall, the school celebrated the completion of its multi-year renovation and expansion project.
