Dear Alumni,

As the 2011 year comes to a close, I want to express my gratitude to each of you for your support of our College of Law community. Many of you assist our students with career development, recruit prospective students, engage in and provide feedback through our alumni events, support our Law Annual Fund or have made an inaugural gift for our new building, Dineen Hall.

I am grateful for the many ways you contribute and what you make possible as a result.

Best wishes for the holiday season,
Hannah R. Arterian
Dean and Professor of Law
