ALUMNI ASSOCIATION BOARD GIVING: REACHES NEARLY 100% PARTICIPATION

In support of the Dean’s vision, the Alumni Board reached 99% giving participation. Gifts to the Annual Fund help with funding student scholarships, faculty support, high priority needs, and daily operations of the law school. If you have not made a gift yet, please consider supporting the law school by donating to the Annual Fund.

GIVE NOW

In 2020, the California Western Community came together to support the student emergency fund due to the global pandemic and the Alumni Association contributed $50,000 towards the effort. The Alumni Association was not only able to assist in supporting students in need but was also able to assist recent graduates of the law school awaiting the bar exam, as well as newer alumni in their first few years of practice.

Congratulations to our 2021 Distinguished Alumni of the Year Honorees!

On behalf of the Alumni Association, we would like to congratulate our 2021 Distinguished Alumni of the Year honorees. We look forward to celebrating our honorees in the Spring.
