Dean's Corner
|
 One hundred years ago today, on Sept. 18, 1912, the University of San Francisco School of Law opened its doors downtown in the Grant Building on the corner of Market and Seventh Streets. On that day, the school counted fewer than 50 students and just three faculty members. This week we celebrate our centennial with an official kick-off event—a Sept. 19 convocation in St. Ignatius Church featuring university and state officials and a keynote address by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. You’ll hear much more about the centennial celebration throughout the year, but for now know this: The heart of it all is a recommitment to our mission of Educating for Justice to Change the World from Here! Our mission is reflected in the work of the law school and in the work of our community, including alumni and friends like you. For that we thank you 100 times over. Happy 100th to all of us!
Sincerely,
Jeffrey S. Brand
