Named Giving
Named gift opportunities are available for many of the capital needs identified in the Law School’s long-range planning process. Named gifts may bear the donor’s name or may be named to honor a spouse or other family member, a colleague, a favorite professor or mentor, a firm or organization deserving recognition. The specific terms of these gifts are determined in consultation with the Dean.
