GRADUATES AND FRIENDS OF THE LAW SCHOOL

t was a joy it was to address the class of 2009 at Orientation on August I 14 as the new chancellor and dean of Hastings. This class promises to be outstanding. The 1 Ls come to us from ] 01 undergraduate institutions, 26 states, and 8 foreign countries. In addition to possessing impressive entering statisti cs, many are bilingual or multilingual; have advanced degrees; have served the underprivileged in programs such as VISTA, the Peace Corps, and Habitat for Humanity; have traveled the world; have climbed mountains; and are former champion athletes. They have served their country as public servants, veterans, law enforcement personnel, and engineers, as well as nationall y recognized artists, writers, poets, and musicians. We have students with extensive business experience, having worked in large firms as well as start-ups. As I looked at the class assembled in the beautiful Green Room above the Herbst Theater, I saw reflected on their faces the same mixture of excitement and anxiety I remember from my own matricu­ lation at Hastings in ] 973. Could we have beli eved at that moment that so many of our classmates would become judges, attorneys, business men and women, law professors, and public servants? The class of 2009 will surely make as much-if not a greater-mark upon the world than the classes that have come before. While anxiety may be the hallmark of the beginning student, optimism is the emotion felt by faculty and staff Fall brings new beginnings-a new group of wonderful students for staff to shepherd through the challenges of law school and fa culty to introduce the vaulting abstractions, policy underpinnings, practical impact, interpretive challenges, and niceties of the law. Fall also brings new courses, new scholarl y projects, new faculty coll eagues, and new programs. This year, of course, fall also brings a new dean, and I am honored to have been asked to lead my alm a mater. Hastings has changed a good deal since my student days, and dail y I marvel and deli ght at the new programs and new strengths we have developed in the last 30 years. During the next year, I will devote my time to learning about our school from staff, students, faculty, alumni, and friends of the Law School. I will ask everyone: What are your goals for the schooP What have we done that works really well; what should we try that we haven't) What can we achieve if we all work together) Pl ease add yo ur voice in person, by email, or by note. I know I can't meet everyone of our graduates, but I certainly will try!
