Congratulations to this year’s graduates. All of us at the law school—trustees, faculty, and administrators—are proud of your accomplishments. It is especially poignant to come together after the challenges that the past year has presented.

Your dedicated efforts will allow you to enter the legal field ready to face any challenge. Your colleagues, clients, and society at-large will benefit from the determination that got you here today.

This law school has been a beacon of opportunity since its founding in 1908 as the nation’s first institute of legal study for women. Our graduates have repaid that opportunity by going on to accomplished legal careers and distinguished lives of service to the profession and their communities.

We are certain you’ll follow in the footsteps of the alumni that came before you, with this degree laying the groundwork for your future success.

Congratulations and good luck!
