Dean's Corner
|
We are in the home stretch of an academic year filled with dynamic events, important faculty scholarly achievements, and student projects that demonstrate a deep commitment to the rule of law with justice in the midst of challenging economic times. From a forum on diversity and the law spurred by the sad death of Trayvon Martin to an ecumenical Passover Seder sponsored by Jewish and Catholic law students to an art show that benefited a local food bank to a 3L who won an Equal Justice Works fellowship, I am proud of the way in which our students—and the entire law school community—maintain an unwavering commitment to our mission, expressed by the university’s mantra, “Change the World from Here.” Soon we will toast the Class of 2012 and all they have and will achieve at our annual Alumni Graduates Dinner, scheduled for Wednesday, May 16 at the InterContinental San Francisco. We invite all alumni to join in the celebration as we bring this year to a close and look forward to kicking off the USF School of Law’s centennial celebration with the 2012–2013 year. A busy, fulfilling time with so much to look forward to!
Sincerely,
Jeffrey S. Brand
