College of Law announces $50 million fund-raising campaign

The University of Illinois College of Law announced earlier this summer the $50 million "Agenda for Excellence" fund-raising campaign under the direction of campaign co-chairs (pictured), John Bradford '80 of KPMG in Houston, Peer Pedersen '48 of Pedersen & Houpt in Chicago, and Carl Vacketta '65 of DLA Piper in Washington D.C., in partnership with Jeff Coates, Assistant Dean for Development and Alumni Relations. The "Agenda for Excellence" will seek to raise significant endowment and current funds for facility enhancements, faculty chairs and professorships, scholarly research and interdisciplinary programs, as well as student scholarships. The "Agenda for Excellence" has already raised nearly $23,000,000 (46 %) toward the $ 50 million campaign goal. Read the College of Law Campaign Newsletter
