SCHOOL OF LAW COMMENCEMENT AND DOCTORAL HOODING

Tuesday the Eleventh of May 2021 Five o’clock GREETINGS FROM PRESIDENT OLIAN

Congratulations to the Class of 2021 as we celebrate your achievements and this life-changing milestone. I know you are well prepared to make your mark in service to the law, in leadership for your communities, in advancement of social justice.

Your many talents and sense of purpose will touch countless lives. As graduates of the Quinnipiac University School of Law, you have been taught and nurtured by a distinguished faculty and a committed staff, and you have learned much from each other. Please stay connected to the Bobcat family and draw upon the many friendships you have formed here.

This day is deservedly shared with your families, friends and others who have contributed to your success. The anticipation and wonder, the talents and curiosity, the confidence and commitment— it all comes together at this moment. Enjoy the celebration and know that all of us at Quinnipiac are cheering you on, with pride.

Best regards,

Judy D. Olian, PhD A MESSAGE FROM THE SCHOOL OF LAW DEAN

Congratulations to the Class of 2021. As you embark upon your careers, I’m confident that you’re graduating fully prepared for the responsibilities that lie ahead, whether you’ll be working at a law firm, clerking for a judge, or lending your voice to the fight for social justice.

So much has happened during your time at Quinnipiac; collectively, we have responded to the COVID-19 pandemic and a newly energized movement for racial justice that has swept our nation. Through it all, you’ve worked hard, you’ve mastered the law, and you have grown—emotionally and intellectually—to become “whole lawyers” who will serve your clients and communities effectively, ethically, and empathetically.

On behalf of the entire faculty and staff at Quinnipiac Law, I wish you long and meaningful careers and much success.

Kindest wishes,

Jennifer Gerarda Brown
