If you or another alumnus of the law school are interested in serving on the Alumni Board, please visit our web site at www.law.udmercy.edu/alumni/ to download the application.  While you’re there, please check out some of the other new options on the web site.  You can now nominate an alumnus for our Alumnus of the Year Award, learn more about the Alumni Board members, committees and meetings, check out past Alumnus of the Year, Time and Talent Awardees and register online for upcoming events.

Speaking of events, over 300 people attended our inaugural UDM Law Alumni Tigers outing.  We co-sponsored the event on Friday, June 8th along with the Incorporated Society of Irish American Lawyers.  We met at the Detroit Beer Company on Broadway in Detroit for a tailgate, followed by a short walk over to Comerica to cheer on the Tigers as they battled the New York Mets.  In addition, on September 8th, we will gather for the fourth annual UDM Law Reunion weekend, when we will honor Denise Ilitch (’80) as Alumnus of the Year, as well as recognize those alumni who have given their time and talent at the 651 Club Brunch on Sunday, September 9th.  I hope to see you at these spectacular events.

Finally, I’d like to remind each of you to remember the School of Law Annual Fund when considering your charitable gifts this year.  For those of you who have already given, thank you very much.  Your support is greatly appreciated.  For those of you who have not given, there is still time!  Publications such as U.S. News & World Report consider alumni participation in their ranking considerations.  It is important to give because your donation can help the law school in many different ways.  In the past few years, we have been able to significantly increase the amount raised and number of donors.  I would like to be able to say this trend has continued at the end of this year as well.  As always, please also consider giving your time to the school.  There are countless ways in which you can get involved.
