I am particularly thankful for the unending support that comes from our alumni base in pushing forward with that mission. To every alumni member who has served on our advisory committee, been a panel member for one of our networking events, joined us as a guest speaker for a class session, volunteered to be part of the scholarship review process, generated a position lead opportunity for one of our students, kept us updated on industry perspectives, represented the College through professional association affiliation, joined us with recruitment initiatives, taken on adjunct teaching roles, helped to communicate our vision and mission, served as a mentor/sounding board resource base for a current student, and represented us so well in the legal community … thank you!” — Edwin B. Miller, J.D., Professor and Assistant Dean, Legal Studies
“I am thankful to be part of a wonderful community with a great mission. Happy holidays to all!” — Lisa Paris, Assistant Vice President, Marketing/Communications
