For the past six years, College of Law 3Ls have joined in the University’s senior class giving campaign, Class Act!, which encourages all seniors to make symbolic philanthropic gifts to the University.
This academic year, the College of Law Class of 2021 campaigned for gifts of $20.21 in support of scholarships, or to Hendricks Chapel in support of basic needs, for students impacted by COVID-19, and donations of casebooks to the Law Library for use by law students.
With gratitude to the Class of 2021 for its resilience in carrying on this proud tradition, the College of Law thanks this year’s donors and the 2021 Class Act! Committee for its philanthropic leadership.
