  • Thurgood Marshall School of Law Received a Special Gift During the Holiday Season
    January 2018 Thurgood Marshall School of Law received a special gift during the holiday season. A TMSL alum from the class of 1989, kept the legacy of TMSL in his heart when he donated $100,000.00 in the spirit of making TMSL one of the top law schools in Texas. Our donor has earmarked his very generous gift to the Law School’s TMSL Bar Bridge Builder Fund and to support student scholarship for tuition. Our donor shared that he “wants everyone to pass the bar and help maintain student equality,” and he challenges other alumni to donate and secure the future of our Law School. The donor further states that “this is OUR school, we have to protect it. Those of us who can improve it should do so and pass it on to the next generation.” Our donor has over 29 years of experience in personal injury law. He extends an invitation to TMSL students and recent graduates who have an interest in PI law.

Ho fatto il mio dovere. Missione compiuta.” —Marcus Luttrell Basato su fatti realmente accaduti descritti nell’omonimo romanzo best seller del New York Times, in tema di eroismo, coraggio e sopravvivenza, Lone Survivor racconta l'incredibile storia di quattro Navy SEAL in missione segreta per neutralizzare un nucleo operativo ad alto rischio di al-Qaeda, finiti in un'imboscata nemica sulle montagne Afghane. Di fronte ad una decisione morale impossibile, il piccolo gruppo rimane isolato dai soccorsi, e circondato da una milizia talebana numericamente più grande e pronta alla guerra.

  • DID SERVANT-LEADERSHIP SAVE the LONE SURVIVOR? the Pashtunwali Ethos As a Foundation for the Practice of Servant- Leadership — X
    DID SERVANT-LEADERSHIP SAVE THE LONE SURVIVOR? The Pashtunwali Ethos as a Foundation for the Practice of Servant- Leadership — X. JASMINE BORDERE AND FRANKLIN G. MIXON, JR. ervant-leadership is a unique leadership philosophy that, Saccording to Greenleaf (1970, 1977), asserts that an effective leader must first be a servant whose primary goal is to serve the needs and interests of others. Stated differently, a servant-leader supports and develops those among his or her followership (Northouse, 2013). In fact, Stone, Russell, and Patterson (2004) suggest that its central focus on serving followers is what differentiates servant-leadership from other leadership styles. Additionally, servant-leaders express humility, authenticity, interpersonal acceptance and stewardship, and provide directions and empower followers, all of which ultimately leads to organizational success (Dierendonck & Nuijten, 2011; Northouse, 2013). The practice of servant-leadership has a long history. As evident in The Holy Bible, Jesus Christ first introduced the concept of servant-leadership to human endeavor over two thousand years ago (Sendjaya & Sarros, 2002). However, it was not until the 1970s that Greenleaf (1970, 1977) conceptualized the notion of servant- leadership and revitalized the practice of servant-leadership in modern organizations (Gandolfi, Stone, & Deno, 2017). Based on 359 The International Journal of Servant-Leadership, 2020, vol, 14, issue 1, 359-380 Greenleaf’s (1970, 1977) view of servant-leadership, Spears (1995) identifies 10 critical characteristics

  • Honoring the Fallen
    Honoring the Fallen The family of fallen SEAL portrayed in Lone Survivor remembers their son. Danny Dietz, 19 Danny Dietz was one of four Navy SEALs on Operation Red Wings, a mission to eliminate a high-ranking member of the Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan. They were ambushed, and he and two other comrades did not survive. The major motion picture and book, Lone Survivor, are based on retellings of the story by fellow SEAL Marcus Luttrell. Dietz’s family has seen the heroic ending of his life portrayed in writing and on the big screen, and they are using the occasion to bring awareness to his values and celebrate his life and the service of his fellow sailors. Danny’s parents describe their son as an intelligent, curious and energetic young man who was always laced in the gifted and talented programs throughout his school years. “He had so much energy and curiosity, even at a young age,” said his father, Dan Dietz. “As a young child, he wanted to be a ninja, but when he was 9, he learned that wasn’t real and right then decided being a Navy SEAL was the next best thing.” Then around eighth grade he decided he was bored with the normal routine and wanted to have a sort of ‘bad-boy’ image,” said his mother, Cindy Dietz-Marsh. He starting hanging out with some bad kids.” Danny’s luck ran out when he started skipping school. “The court sent him to a military-style boot camp for young people,” said Dietz-Marsh.
