Dear Alumni and Friends:
The Law School Annual Fund is crucial to the College of Law because it provides current-use funding for support of student scholarships, student organizations, faculty and student recruitment, our unique law minority access program, alumni services, scholarly events, as well as many other worthy endeavors currently taking place at the College. These funds help fill the gaps created by declining State support. Your participation in giving to support the law school is critical to our success. Our goal is to reach 21% alumni participation by June 30, 2007. Keep track of our progress on the Class Participation Charts (All Law Funds and Annual Fund). Class Rep's are preparing letters for their classmates that have not made their gift yet this year. Your positive response will be very much appreciated and will help us reach 21% participation this year. You can make your gift now just click onto the "Give" button below this message.
If you have already made your gift this year (between July 1, 2006 and June 30, 2007), please consider this message one of our first opportunities to thank your for your support!
