DEAN DAVID WIPPMAN: PLAYING A DIFFICULT HAND David Wippman came home to the Twin Cities on July 1, 2008, to be the 10th dean of the Law School. In July, he leaves to become president of Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y. Eight years is an above-average tenure for a law school dean, and these eight years were anything but average. When Wippman became dean, the economy was in decline and admissions were rising, but the job market couldn’t support the number of law school grads who had hoped the economy would rebound by the time they graduated. The new dean had been dealt a daunting hand of cards—and the record shows he played it brilliantly. Though it’s impossible to capture eight years of guest lectures, dinners, fund- 4 5 raising efforts, and TORT performances in just two pages, these images and accomplishments do refl ect Wippman’s character, creativity, wit, and lasting infl uence on the Law School. Thank you, Dean Wippman, for your service— and for not passing up your bid to take on the challenge. We wish you the best.
