Success again in 2010! Law Alumni Reach 54.86% Participation in Annual Giving Campaign
The alumni community once again secures a top spot among all ABA-accredited law schools for its percentage of participation in an annual giving campaign. At the close of the campaign on June 30, 2010, the School of Law recorded an inspiring 54.86 percent participation. Equally impressive, our participation rate has topped our previous two years during a period of continued economic challenge. We have yet to identify another law school in the nation that has attained the same level of success that UST Law has achieved over the last six years. We gratefully acknowledge and thank all alumni who participated in the 2010 campaign. Your participation demonstrates your unwavering confidence in the School of Law and maintains our top 1% placement among all ABA-accredited law schools in the category of alumni participation in the country!
We remain grateful for the enduring support of our alumni over the years. Your support reaffirms our belief that our mission is not only at work in our students, faculty and staff, but in those who have continued on their journey to become servant leaders in our communities. Thank you again for your generosity and commitment to preserving the legacy of the University of St. Thomas School of Law!
With warmest appreciation,
Lisa Montpetit Brabbit, Assistant Dean for External Relations
