The 2015 Class Gift will establish the Student Emergency Fund, which will be available to all law students at the times when they need financial help the most. This fund is intended to help students when they might ordinarily have to choose between educational and personal expenses. The Student Emergency Fund will be available to help students in a variety of emergency financial situations from rent assistance to pet or automotive care needs. Students will not need to repay the money they receive; it’s just there to help.
Thanks to our first Class of 2015 participants:
- Jill Machniak-Gallagher
- Lisa Owings
