Dear Alumni and Friends:
On Monday, April 19 from 12 to 7 p.m., the University of San Francisco will hold a community-wide teach-in on Haiti, bringing together many of the nation’s leading experts on the history of and challenges facing Haiti. This event is free and open to the public and I extend a special invitation to USF School of Law alumni and friends. Just three months after the catastrophic earthquake that killed tens of thousands, it’s critical that Haiti remain in the public consciousness. The teach-in will explore the context in which the disaster happened, including impossible national debt loads, widespread poverty, a complicated U.S. engagement policy, and dysfunctional humanitarian aid distribution. It will include panels on the medical, humanitarian, and legal response, and provide ideas about how to get involved. The teach-in is at the core of the shared mission of the university and the law school– educating minds and hearts about issues that demand our attention. I hope to see you on Monday. Find the full program and list of speakers here or RSVP on the event’s Facebook page here.
- Dean Jeffrey Brand
