Alumni Weekend is a special time for graduates to come back to campus, spend time with old friends and former faculty, and see what's new at UDSL. Last year’s festivities brought more than 300 alumni back to the UDSL campus, and with the 30-year reunion of the class of 1977 – UDSL’s first graduating class after its reopening – this year’s events have the potential to be an even bigger success.

Alumni weekend begins Friday, May 18, 2007, at noon with our Annual Alumni Awards Luncheon at the Schuster Center. The Honorable Walter H. Rice Honorary Alumni Award and the Distinguished Alumni Award will be presented at this gathering where we celebrate members of the UDSL community and accomplished alumni reflect on their paths since graduation.

Saturday morning, May 19, will begin with a CLE program in Joseph E. Keller Hall, featuring Professor Tom Hagel and Mr. Ashley Brown (’77) speaking on substance abuse and disciplinary problems, and professionalism, respectively. Reunion-year classes kick off Saturday evening’s celebration with special receptions at 6:00 pm for the classes of 1977, 1982, 1987, and 1997, celebrating their 10-, 20-, 25-, and 30-year reunions. A general reception for all graduates will be held on the East lawn at the same time. Everyone will come together for a dinner on campus at 7:30 pm, followed by a silent auction to benefit the Student Volunteer Law Project, which allows law students to complete pro bono work with local attorneys to help solve the legal problems of community members in need.

This will be a wonderful weekend to catch up with old friends, former professors, revisit campus, and share a piece of your history with your family. Please check out our UDSL website at http://law.udayton.edu  for Alumni Weekend information or call 937-229-3793 for more information.
