Donor Recognition Programs
The College of Law recently adopted donor recognition categories, to enable the dean to recognize and acknowledge the annual and cumulative gifts to the College at all levels.
All donors to the Annual Fund will be recognized, by giving level, during the fall publication of the College’s Law Letter. Note that the Dean’s Club level is established at $1,000 or $500 if a graduate is five years or less out of law school, or a judge, teacher or government official.
All donors to the Dean’s Club level and above are invited to an annual special recognition event.
We have also established some special annual giving categories. The Book Award recognizes the top student in each course taught by the College of Law during each academic year. The College’s momentum fund seeks to provide $5,000 per year for five years in order to provide immediate scholarship support for a student’s law school education.
