Southern University Law Center (SULC) will host its 2016 Annual
Alumni & Friends Round-Up on April 6-9. We invite you to join us for
fun and fund-raising to support our worthy law students.
As you know, now more than ever we need you to support us at a
time when we are facing tremendous budget cuts. SULC’s state allocated
funding has diminished by approximately $3 million, which has had a
tremendous impact on the support and activities that we are able to
provide for our students.
We celebrate “2016: The Year of Charles J. Hatfield III” in honor of
Hatfield’s courageous act 70 years ago in sending a letter requesting
admission to the only state-funded law degree program in Louisiana at
the time. That act became the cataylst for the founding of this law school,
an institution of access and opportunity. We are calling upon our alumni
and friends to help SULC continue to provide its students with access to
the financial and educational resources necessary to excel in the
classroom and after graduation.
We are an institution committed to producing lawyer-leaders.
For more details, contact
Cynthia Reed, director of alumni affairs:
creed@sulc.edu or
Tanya Freeman, director of development:
tfreeman@sulc.edu.
Welcome back to SULC and the opportunity to help us maintain the
strength of our legacy!
Join us as we bring together alumni & friends for Fun and Fund-Raising.
Round-Up Package: $125 • A LA CARTE Pricing Also Available • See details on page 3.
