Thank You for Your Outstanding Support Two weeks ago I welcomed the Class of 2017 to the Chicago-Kent community. I am pleased to report that this class of 1Ls is a diverse and accomplished group. Students hail from 10 different countries, more than 100 different undergraduate institutions, and speak 25 different languages. In terms of experience, the Class of 2017 counts among its ranks politicians, nonprofit leaders, members of AmeriCorps and the PeaceCorps, NCAA athletes, a taekwondo black belt, a ventriloquist, a hip hop dancer, veterans of the Armed Forces, and 23 holders of advanced degrees. I expect great things from the Class of 2017. Alumni support plays a critical role in the success of our current and future students at Chicago-Kent. This year, we have continued our participation in the Fueling Innovation Campaign with IIT, and 1,139 alumni and friends contributed more than $2.5 million to the campaign. With the generous support of our alumni donors, we have been hard at work implementing the structural and curricular changes necessary to keep Chicago-Kent on the cutting edge of legal education. Thanks to the support of our alumni community, we have been able to make significant enhancements to our home at 565 West Adams. Over the course of this past year, we have unveiled the James J. Morici Jr. Advocacy Corridor, the Elaine R. Levin Student Lounge, the Flanagan Family Terrace and the Arthur and Stephanie Morris Hall. A special shout out to Jim, Elaine, Tom, Art and Stephanie for your commitment and dedication to Chicago-Kent -- students are benefiting from your generosity. I invite you to take advantage of one of the many opportunities to visit Chicago-Kent this fall and view these improvements for yourself. Join us for the 5th annual Supreme Court IP Review conference this Friday, attend a CLE conference, volunteer for the Alumni Association or simply drop by one of the networking receptions our student organizations will be hosting. I hope to see you soon. Sincerely, |
