On May 31st, 2015, Professor Huhn will retire after 31 years of teaching.  He is “stepping into retirement” by walking 25 miles through the Cuyahoga Valley National Park April 18-19 and will end his walk here at the law school the morning of April 20th – just in time to teach his last Con Law class.  Professor Huhn has pledged to donate $20 per mile he walks to the new Student Emergency Fund – the Class of 2015’s class gift.

In honor of Professor Huhn’s legacy and his dedication to public service and to encourage others to follow his example, Students Embracing a Legacy, a grassroots organization is developing a fundraiser designed around Professor Huhn’s walk.  They will be launching a crowd funding campaign on Start Some Good on April 1st (startsomegood.com/studentlegacy2015).

Donors will have the option of choosing whether they would like their funds to support the Student Emergency Fund or the Public Administration and Urban Studies Student Association Student Support Fund.  Information regarding both funds will be available on the Start Some Good site and the group’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/studentlegacy2015.

Please visit their Facebook page to discover how to join Professor Huhn on the walk and to support the students in the Public Administration and Urban Affairs college and the Student Emergency Fund.
