Photo Don Martel. From the Director It is a pleasure to bring you this particular Nulli Secundus, since its focus is on alumni giving. We wanted to put a publication together for you that lets you know of the developments at Windsor Law over the past five years. We have made much movement forward, particularly in the area of increasing permanently endowed funds. Even with the economic challenges we faced, our alumni generosity continued to inspire the students involved in these campaigns, class leaders, the Dean, faculty and I in securing major gifts for physical and technological improvements and for financial aid. We are proud of what we have been able to accomplish in these last five years. Each of the law school’s “hubs” have been dramatically renovated and made more functional. The article, “Funds Meet Function”, may inspire you to answer that annual giving campaign call, to forward the donor cards we send to you, or to create your own major gift legacy. Graham Gow (Class of 1980), Peter and Terry Farmer (Class of 1974 and 1975, respectively) and the Goodman family (Jack, from the Class of 1976, and Rebecca, Class of 2008) all proved to us that while the physical space of the Law School could be improved, the historical spirit was not diminished. Our article “Student Support”, reflects the past five years of alumni connections, events to be recognized, and the highest aspirations and dreams of graduating classes whether they were looking forward to their graduation, or reflecting on 35-year-long careers. Our article “Influential Ideas”, might motivate you to donate to Windsor Law. Some of our donors send us $50 per year, some send $5,000 - and every donation makes a difference. You can set up a legacy gift in your will to benefit the school (many healthy years from now!) or create a major gift endowment taking advantage of the OTSS matching program, which matches donations to Windsor Law dollar for dollar, literally doubling your money. Our Young Alumni Initiative, focuses on new graduates who are beginning their careers in law. We ask for modest contributions, but more importantly an ongoing connection to the school, and the hope of bringing student-driven initiatives up the priority ladder. I hope our article will give you fresh insight on what we still need to strive for. This publication would not have been possible without the dedicated efforts of Anne Dawson, Michelle Pilutti, Sandra Stein, Debbie Squillaro and particularly Marissa Hatt. We are indebted to them for their invaluable assistance. While visiting or hosting alumni and interacting with so many of our generous friends, I often reflected personally on the gratitude I feel towards this law school. Constant discussions with alumni regarding the ease with which an OTSS scholarship can be established happened to dovetail with a major event in my own family life. In August 2009, my father, Harry, retired from 33 years on the Ontario Court of Justice, one day before his 75th birthday. Inspired by alumni generosity, I established the Justice Harry Momotiuk Bursary. I was surprised at how easy it was, and how rewarding it felt. It was my own way of giving back to a law school and honouring a person who has given me so much. We hope this issue truly conveys how grateful we are at the law school for alumni support. We hope it makes clear to you how much it means to the students, how gratifying it is to have their hard work rewarded and recognized, and how pleasant it is to work in such a dynamic and influential faculty. My final words on the subject are simple. Thank you. karen momotiuk ’96, editor Nulli Secundus . Spring 2010 3 Funds Meet Function General Office Renovations made possible by goodman family generosity improving the interior of the Ron w. ianni law building by Laura Elinson Law Commons Farmer Conference Room The hub of student life at Windsor Law often occurs in the area now known as the Law Commons, formerly and affectionately known as “the pit”. Many of you will remember its dark spaces and mismatched furniture. Some may even remember the foozball table, surrounded by faculty and students alike. While it was not always attractive, it “had a good personality”. Alumnus Graham Gow ’80 and the WB Family Foundation donated funds and design assistance to revitalize the area. Now, the space is well divided, and groups of law students can easily meet, for both school and social reasons. The Commons is now brightly lit, since Graham’s gift motivated the University to upgrade the area with high-efficiency lighting. Now, it is both attractive and functional. A generous gift from our friends, Terry Farmer ’75 and Peter Farmer ’74 helped us modernize our main meeting room for Faculty Council as well as for guest speakers, conferences, symposia, and seminars. The ribbon cutting ceremony, coupled with the Class of 1974’s 35th Anniversary reunion, was an exciting event since the Conference Room was new when the class first used it (in 1971) and, now, it is new again. Alumni Lounge Faculty and staff spend a great amount of time in the Alumni Lounge — for meetings, faculty presentations, visiting lectures, and informal gatherings. This room, too, was given a gorgeous makeover with sleek new furniture, functional tables, and an updated kitchen area, as well as artwork donated by alumni and friends, particularly Bill and Rochelle Tepperman, Greg Aarssen ’02, and McCarthy Tétrault LLP. 4 Nulli Secundus . Spring 2010 General Office Everyone who ever attends Windsor Law begins their journey in the General Office (GO). It is the location of registration, obtaining grades, getting mail, and law school questions being answered. The GO, staffed by many friendly faces over the years, was inaccessible for wheelchairs, and presented a problem for storage, privacy, and lacked general appeal. When Jack Goodman ’76 and his wife Barbara came back to the Law school for their daughter, Rebecca’s graduation in 2008, they were inspired to donate a major gift to the school to allow us to renovate the GO. This central area has true style now, and is modern, functional and provides a proper welcome to visitors and students. At the core of every great school lies a nerve centre, a hub relied upon by staff, students, and visitors alike to field inquiries, greet newcomers, disseminate final marks, and keep the community informed of changes as they take place. For Windsor Law, this hub takes the form of the General Office (“the GO”). With the pace of life inside the office set at a daily high, it took the vision and care of a generous alumni duo to provide the GO with a new face; one that would not only please the eye, but also offer some substantial improvements to its functionality. Owing to the very generous donation of the Goodman Family, and in particular Jack ’76 and daughter Rebecca ’08, the GO is now designed to optimally meet the demands of both staff and students. “It’s the first place many people will be introduced to Windsor Law, whether they are students or visitors,” says Rebecca. “We wanted to make sure that it is representative of the school. It wasn’t wheelchair accessible and we thought it was really important to change that, especially considering Windsor’s emphasis on access to justice and the school’s commitment to making everyone feel welcome.” In addition to that important change, new furniture, a new filing system, and a new accessible counter are part of the redesign. There are new student mail slots, new magazine racks for the display of law school brochures and other material, and new seating for guests. The offices of the academic coordinator and secretary to the dean were renovated to meet ergonomic requirements, to provide more efficient filing systems and to extend the new decor to these administrative offices. The donation is also being used to begin a program of improving the entrance to the law school, with expansion to the patio area planned for summer 2010. For Jack, it is a relief to finally be able to offer the hardworking staff in the GO a just reward for their commitment to providing their utmost care and attention to the students of Windsor Law. They were happy to be able to provide positivity in the workplace. “The space in which people work affects their productivity and their attitudes,” says Jack, “and everyone benefits from a positive attitude!” Thirty-four years after graduating his own positive approach has resulted in a fabulous new space. Nulli Secundus .Spring 2010 5 Faculty of Law Windsor Law Success In the last five years, Windsor Law has been the recipient of funding in excess of $8-million. Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) A Change of Aesthetics but not Spirit: Renovating the Conference Room By Lori Brienza Dr. Alan Wildeman welcomes the crowd at Reunion Weekend 2009 at the grand opening of the Farmer Conference Room. Peter and Terry Farmer officially open the festivities. There was no more fitting way to celebrate Windsor Law’s 40th Anniversary than by upgrading the interior of the Ron W. Ianni Law Building. The upgrades to the Farmer Conference Room were made possible as a result of the generosity of two alumni who are wholly dedicated to, and have maintained a special connection with Windsor Law. Peter Farmer ‘74, former CEO of Denison Mines Inc., along with his wife Terry ‘75, made a generous contribution toward the much-needed remodeling of the Conference room in 2008. Enhancing the physical and technological capacity was a primary focus of the renovation. This is not the first time, however, that these two graduates have given back to the Law school. In 2006, they – along with Fraser Berrill ’74 and his family — created a new scholarship, the Berrill and Farmer Families Bursary presented annually to a first-year law student with a strong commitment to community service. What is most admirable, however, is that these grads all maintain much more than a financial connection with the Law school. For example, in 2008, Farmer delivered talks to law students on current issues in mining law and his transition from general counsel to CEO of Denison Mines Inc. This kind of personal gathering was not only inspiring for students but also exemplified the many ways in which alumni continue to remain a part of the Law school and shape the direction of its future. 6 Nulli Secundus . Spring 2010 This comes as no surprise. From their days as students at Windsor Law, Terry, Peter, and Fraser were deeply connected and involved in the community. During his most recent visit, Farmer shared stories of his involvement in the creation of Legal Assistance of Windsor (LAW), right down to its very construction. This sense of community and spirit of giving is one that continues to resonate throughout the walls of the Ron W. Ianni Law Building. The contributions of the Farmers are deeply appreciated, as such gifts help improve not only the aesthetics of the building itself but also affect the future of the school as well. $4.4 M The Canadian International Development Agency contributed to a project on judicial independence and human dignity – Karamah. The key goal is to support Access to Justice in Palestinian society. The purpose is to strengthen the Palestinian judiciary and promotion of human dignity to support increased independence and improve Access to Justice. Pictured here is Reem Bahdi the program’s co-director. Legal Aid Ontario (LAO) $1.2 M Community Legal Aid and Legal Assistance of Windsor are community legal aid clinics funded by Legal Aid Ontario. These funds are used to support the daily operations of both clinics. Law Foundation of Ontario (LFO) $1.9 M The Law Foundation of Ontario supports legal education, legal research, and Law Libraries in Ontario. They have committed to support Windsor Law through a variety of grants which include the annual Comprehensive Grant, the Law Enforcement Accountability Project (LEAP), and Intellectual Property Legal Information Network (IPLIN). In addition, these funds support our competitive mooting program, the Paul Martin Law Library, the Centre for Transnational Law and Justice, the Windsor Yearbook of Access to Justice, and the Windsor Review of Legal and Social Issues. Stitt Feld Handy Group $800,000 Windsor Law and the Stitt Feld Handy Group have partnered in an initiative to provide training in Alternative Dispute Resolution to the public using workshops based on the theory of “Principled Negotiation”. These funds have been used for scholarships, support faculty development, renovations, and other initiatives. Allan Stitt ’88 and Frank Handy are pictured here with Dean Bruce Elman. Osler Hoskin Harcourt LLP $185,000 Osler Hoskin Harcourt LLP funding has been the primary support for the University of Windsor Mediation Services located both in the Faculty of Law and in downtown Windsor. These funds will support the daily operations of this clinic between 2008 and 2011. Faculty Initiatives and Research Projects $600,000 The Faculty also received grants and in-kind support from: The Corporation of the City of Windsor Social Science and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Ontario Problem Gambling Research Group (OPGRG) Foundation for Legal Research Osgoode Society for Legal History Ontario Ministry of Employment Morris and Beverly Baker Foundation Ontario Ministry of Small Business and Consumer Services Ontario Ministry of Economic Development and Trade Windsor Essex Development Commission Nulli Secundus .Spring 2010 7 2004-2009 Student Support CLASS OF 1982 LEADERSHIP AWARD DONOR: Class of 1982 CLASS OF 2000 AND 2001 ENTRANCE BURSARY DONOR: Graduating Class of 2000 and 2001 An award is presented to a Law II or III student who has demonstrated leadership within the Law School, University of Windsor, or community at large.

Funds raised provide us with that margin of excellence we need to compete with our peer institutions. We provide opportunities for students who are truly looking to make their mark on the legal profession, and to change lives through education. Each year our students exceed our expectations for what they can achieve. They are the reason we work hard to offer every opportunity we can to them with the resources we have available. Thank you for helping us achieve this growth! $107,139 Over the past five years, dollars raised during our Windsor Law Annual Giving Campaign has increased by 70%. $66,673 $55,302 Annual Giving Campaign Growth $37,875 A scholarship is presented to a Law I student who has demonstrated financial need.

(Est. 2005) 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 OTSS total Total donated As I write this letter, less than four months remain in my term as dean of the University of Windsor Law School. Being dean of Windsor Law is not without its challenges but the challenges of the position are far outweighed by the opportunities it presents. It has been a fabulous experience! Being the dean of a North American law school is all about relationships. I have been very fortunate to have formed strong relationships with our faculty, staff, and students over the past nine and a half years. I have worked with enthusiastic and energetic faculty members who are dedicated to student-centred learning and cutting-edge legal scholarship. The professional and support staff are caring individuals who are committed to ensuring the success of our students. Our library staff and clinical staff are devoted to enhancing the student experience. At the outset of each year, I speak to the first-year class. I set out in some detail our expectations – what we call LEXpectations – of Windsor Law students. LEXpectations is posted on our website at www.uwindsor.ca/law under “From the Dean”. The seven principles articulated in LEXpectations are the following: ENGAGE intellectually; EMBODY integrity; LEAD effectively; BUILD relationships; SERVE the community; PRACTISE professionalism; LIVE with purpose. Our students embody these principles. I have always been extremely proud of them. The relationships I have formed with the student leadership have had a direct bearing on the Law School’s success over the past decade. Of course, students become alumni. During my time as dean, we have worked diligently to improve and enhance OTSS totalour relationships with our alumni and friends. Our initiatives have included law firm visits, attendance at Special Convocations for Admission to the Bar, hosting Total donated Call to the Bar receptions, planning and organizing other alumni receptions as well as the Alumni and Friends Gala Dinners. Our publications, including Nulli Secundus and windsor law now, have been distributed to alumni and friends on a regular basis. In addition, there have been occasional letters from me to our graduates. We have tried to make our website more interesting with “channels” devoted to Breaking News in Law, Alumni News, and Faculty News. And our alumni have responded: alumni comprise a significant portion of our sessional teaching staff; they volunteer unstintingly to serve as Moot Court judges; they gladly host students during our Job Shadowing program; and they attend dinners and other events in numbers that make us the envy of the rest of the University and other law schools. Alumni and friends, also, support our Law School with their financial donations. In the pages of this issue of Nulli Secundus, we read the stories of some of our major donors and benefactors over the past few years. The ground floor of the Ron W. Ianni Law Building was re-developed thanks to donation from the WB Family Foundation and Graham Gow ’80. The PIT area, the cafeteria and the old locker room have been transformed into the Law Commons, the Gavel, and the Student Chambers. The ground floor also houses the Office of Student Services, the Windsor Office of the JD/LLB Program, and the Career and Alumni Development Office. The Goodman family provided funds to transform the General Office and provide greater accessibility for students and faculty. A donation from Terry ’75 and Peter Farmer ’74 helped us transform the Conference Room into a state-of-the-art meeting room. The theme of this issue of Nulli is not just about the larger donations; it is about ALL of the donations from our many alumni and friends, who support students, sustain programs, expand services, and, more generally, enhance the student experience. In many respects, the most satisfying relationships I have developed over the past 10 years have been with our alumni and friends. I will always cherish these relationships. I know they will last long after I cease to be the dean of this Law School. So welcome to the “Giving Issue” of Nulli Secundus and Thanks for Answering the Call! My personal regards and best wishes, bruce elman, Dean of law Nulli Secundus .Spring 2010 13 Student support Influential Ideas Reaching our Goal Consider Doubling Your Gift Endowments, scholarships, bursaries – they are a necessity for today’s law students. This campaign offers alumni, friends, corporations and foundations an exceptional opportunity to see your contributions double in impact through the Ontario government’s new “Ontario Trust for Student Support” (OTSS) gift-matching program. The need is real; your support of our scholarship and bursaries is essential. Through OTSS, the provincial government will match contributions made to scholarships and bursaries for Canadian citizens residing in Ontario. OTSS Fundraising Goal Exceeded in 2009 This year, the University of Windsor exceeded its allotment of OTSS matching funds, making us eligible for even more fund matching next year. The law school alumni were a large part of this success. Congratulations! Named endowments can be created with a minimum contribution of $5,000, donated all at once or pledged over a number of years, and can be named in honour or in memory of an individual of your choice. Your endowment will provide a perpetual source of income for scholarships and bursaries. This presents an excellent opportunity for you to strengthen the Windsor Law Endowment, to offer superior financial assistance to students, and to ensure that a legal education remains accessible.

Elman Faculty of Law 519-253-3000, ext. 2930 belman@uwindsor.ca www.uwindsor.ca/law Evaluate the Benefits of Donating Stock Donating publicly traded stock and securities is a tax-smart way to support Windsor Law. Recent changes to the Income Tax Act have eliminated capital gains taxes on securities if they are donated to charities or non-profit organizations. What better way to take advantage of this new tax break than to help us build a stronger Law School? With over 100 clubs and committees at Windsor Law, we are always being asked to support student driven initiatives. From charity outreach, to moot competitions, our students are engaged in our community. You or your firm can sponsor student events such as visiting speakers, mooting, travel to student and professional conferences, career counseling events, theatrical productions, and charitable endeavors by giving to the Windsor Law Alumni Fund for the Enhancement of Student Life. There is always an opportunity for increased support to leverage our student energy. To donate, or to request additional information, visit www.uwindsor.ca/donations or contact: Windsor Law would like to thank all of our donors who choose to remain anonymous. Alumni have taken advantage of the change. One alumnus, who prefers to remain anonymous, donated stock he originally purchased for 15 cents a share which had grown exponentially with time, and became a $10,380 donation! Karen Momotiuk Director of Alumni & Fund Development 519-253-3000, ext. 2920 karenm@uwindsor.ca Sandra Stein Secretary to the Associate Dean/Awards 519-253-3000, ext. 2923 stein@uwindsor.ca Donations of stocks, mutual funds and/or segregated funds incur no capital gains taxes on them, and a full tax receipt for the amount donated can be issued. The value of the tax receipt is locked in at the market closing price on the day that the University takes legal receipt of the stock or securities in its brokerage account. Since publicly traded securities are easily valued, any issues regarding the objective market value of the gift are eliminated. Your gift can be designated to whatever Windsor Law priority that interests you – such as scholarships and financial aid, a specific memorial fund or class gift, or a major capital project such as the upgrading of the Ron. W. Ianni Law Building. Leave a Legacy Legacy gifts open doors that would otherwise be closed. They can support a scholarship that allows students to continue their education, or resources for a professor to conduct valuable research. It can mean ensuring that the law school is equipped to offer its students a first-class education. Creating a legacy gift is a long-term investment in the future of Windsor Law. It is a significant step toward ensuring that the quality of teaching and research at Windsor Law continues for generations of students. Planned or legacy gifts can have significant tax advantages, making a bequest beneficial to both the donor and the University, as well as the ultimate recipient of the gift. The removal of the capital gains tax on gifts of stock and other securities can benefit the donor as well as support teaching, research, scholarships or buildings. Most donors choose to designate their legacy gift. Alumni and friends may wish to endow a chair, establish a scholarship to advance research in their area of study, establish an annual scholarship, create a bursary to help students overcome financial barriers, fund classroom improvements, teaching technology, or numerous other options. Legacy gifts are also seen as a way to remember or honour a family member, mentor, colleague or friend. Named opportunities start at $10,000, $5,000 if they are matched through the OTSS program, and provide opportunities in perpetuity. Bequests can take any of the following forms: cash or securities, real estate, life insurance, life income plans, annuities or trusts. Nulli Secundus .Spring 2010 15 Faculty of Law Donor Report Faculty of Law Class Giving Strength in Numbers Class of The law school has a rich tradition of Class 1976 Giving. Gifts range from physical and technological upgrades, to scholarships and To celebrate their 30th Anniversary reunion in 2006, the Class bursaries, memorial scholarships, and academic of 1976 created a 30th Anniversary Reunion Fund, which had as its goal renovations of the physical space of the Ron W. Ianni awards. The following are the class gifts Law building, and enhancement of its technological capacity. currently being stewarded at the law school. We hope you will be inspired to get together with your colleagues, lead the charge for a class gift, or contribute to one already established. Class of 1971 In 1997 members of the Class of 1971 established an endowed trust account which would generate an award in memory of Justice Walter S. Tarnopolsky, who served as Dean of Law from 1968-1972. The terms of reference stipulate that an upper year student who demonstrated the qualities for which Justice Tarnopolsky was known and esteemed, namely respect for, and commitment to, equality and human rights, service to the community, civility and generosity. To date the award has slowly grown to $10,000 and will become a permanently endowed scholarship in 2010. Currently, there is $12,926 in the fund, which has been earmarked for environmental enhancements and general improvements to the entrance and outside space surrounding the Law building. The centerpiece will be a sheltered and secure bicycle park, encouraging students (many of whom live close to campus) to cycle to campus instead of driving. Of course, the generous donation given by Jack Goodman (also of the Class of 1976) allowed us to renovate the General Office, finally addressing accessibility and privacy concerns. Class of 1977 The Class of 1977 Fund was established in 2002 at the conclusion of their 25th Anniversary reunion. Contributions have continued since that time and the fund has grown to $19,403. Class leaders are now considering how to allocate the fund and how to attract further contributors to its growth. They celebrated their 30th Anniversary reunion in 2007 back in Windsor and continue their generous giving mainly through the allocation of their Annual Fund donations. Class of 1980 In 2005, the Class of 1980 celebrated a reunion weekend in Windsor and raised $3,218 in excess of their reunion costs to establish a fund in memory of their deceased classmate, Scott Sievert. Class leaders agreed that the 2009 balance for the Class of 1980 Fund would augment the Ron W. Ianni Scholar in Residence Fund and $16,715 was transferred this year. The gift was a generous gesture in memory of Ron Ianni, who was the Dean of Windsor Law from 1975–1984 and the President of the University of Windsor from 1984–1997. Ianni passed away in 1997. 16 Nulli Secundus . Spring 2010 Class of Class of 1981 2000 In 2006, the Class of 1981 celebrated a reunion weekend in Windsor. They established a fund for the general benefit of the Faculty of Law and raised over $76,634. Solicitations following the reunion focused on using the fund for much needed renovations to the Ron W. Ianni Law building. Plans are already underway for a 30th anniversary reunion in 2011 and class leaders have been considering how best to allocate this growing fund. Following their graduation, the Class of 2000 Fund was established to create a scholarship for Windsor Law students. The fund continued to grow until April 2007, totalling $4,791. In 2009, the fund was merged with donations from the Class of 2001 to create an entrance bursary for incoming students. Class of 1982 Following their 25th Anniversary reunion in 2007, a dynamic and active Steering Committee for the the Class of 1982 established the Class of 1982 Leadership Award. The initial canvass of graduates secured $50,000 in collected funds and pledges. The overall goal was to raise $200,000 for the fund, to be used for the support of students, to provide physical renovations and technological enhancements to the Law school, and to underwrite visiting professorships in the future. Class of 1992 In 2002, class leaders established the Class of 1992 Anniversary Fund following their 10th Anniversary reunion held in Toronto. They generously established the fund to be used for scholarships and bursaries. The fund continues to grow toward that goal, and stands at $4,395. The class held a reunion in fall 2009 in Toronto, and class leaders are being encouraged to consider the creation of an OTSS fund which would attract government matching on future gifts. Class of Class of 2001 Following their graduation, the Class of 2001 established a fund with the goal of creating an entrance scholarship based on financial need and academic standing. The fund continued to grow until April 2007, totalling $2,703. In 2009, the fund was merged with donations from the Class of 2000 to create an entrance bursary for incoming students. Class of 2002 Following graduation, the Class of 2002 Fund was established, to create a scholarship for Windsor Law students. The fund continues to grow, and totals $4,367. Class of 2003 Following the tradition of the previous three classes, the Class of 2003 was invited to make a class gift in support of two initiatives. The first initiative was the establishment of the Naudia Seebaran Memorial Scholarsip. The second was the renovation of classrooms, including painting, replacement of technological equipment, tables and chairs, as well as augmentation of electrical upgrades to keep pace with the growing demand for computer accessibility. 1997 In 1997, on the occasion of their graduation, the Class of 1997 Graduation Committee set up an annual award to be given to an upper year law student based on academic performance, financial need, and involvement in extra curricular activities. Funds donated from fundraising efforts while planning for their graduation created the initial deposit, and the principal has grown steadily and stands at $6,665 generating annual awards since graduation. It was also one of the first class gifts to take advantage of the then-titled Ontario Student Opportunity Trust Fund and the dollar-for-dollar matching that the program provided.

The student-driven initiative pushed for physical renovations they felt were necessary to improve the law student experience. As a direct result of the commitment of young alumni, the program continues to be shaped and expanded. The success of the 2009 campaign prompted us to take up new challenges in 2010. The 2010 Initiative revolves around two priorities which we were told needed improvement. The first was helping current students effectively transition from law students to articling students and lawyers. We held a 2010 Speakers Series throughout February, corralled financial planning advice regarding student debt and its repayment, emphasized on-campus resources, employment and bursary opportunities. The series aimed to pass on the best, most practical advice possible to current students, while continuing to engage young alumni as they begin their careers. The 2010 Young Alumni Initiative also provided funding for a new program called “Virtual Coffee”. This addition to our Windsor Law Job Shadowing Program focused on matching recent graduates with current students for a telephone conversation. This unique mentorship program helps students assess career paths, geographical moves, and encourages frank discussions regarding students’ job searches. In consultation with our Director of Career Services, Anna DeCia, we are working together to link Windsor Law grads with Windsor Law students. Most donations to the Young Alumni Initiative were modest — $40 was our average – but meaningful. We have been impressed with the connection our recent graduates maintain with us and we are proud to say that, through their commitment, they are leading by example as to what can be accomplished when our grads work towards a common goal.
