Calling 3Ls! Every year the 3L class has a campaign for pledges toward the Law School's Fund for Excellence. The fund is managed by the dean to support programs and initiatives like our five journals, our 40+ student organizations, student scholarships, student and academic support through CSO and OSA, and moot court programs. A pledge toward the Fund for Excellence helps ensure we can continue to offer and expand the programs and support we offer our students. Should you choose to pledge, there will be a campaign celebration from 5 - 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 4 at The Upstairs Pub. Attendees will receive two drink tickets and food will be provided.
