 As the law school celebrated the graduation of the Class of 2012 on
Saturday, I told those gathered in St. Ignatius Church that what this
class has done and the inspiring way which they’ve done it speaks
volumes about how they will weather difficult times. It also reflects
the message the upcoming USF School of Law Centennial conveys.
Whether it be their work on behalf of indigent clients in the law
clinics, spearheading dynamic legal symposia, or advocating for human
rights at the United Nations, our wonderfully smart, diverse, and
dedicated graduates are inspiration for all that we can do in our
second century. Their accomplishments remind us that our task is not
futile, that tough times will inevitably pass, and that as they do, a
new generation of lawyers will be there to take up the charge.
Our centennial celebration will take place from fall 2012 through
spring 2013, with a host of exciting events and initiatives planned
for the entire law school community. You will be hearing more about
this in the coming months, and you can stay up to date on the latest
plans by visiting www.usfca.edu/law/centennial.
Have a good summer, and we look forward to seeing you throughout our
centennial year.
