Thanks to a major gift from the Bernard E. and Alba Witkin Charitable Foundation, our three in-house clinics now share a modern, professional office suite for students, faculty, and staff. The clinics had operated in separate, overcrowded spaces. Now, they can collaborate effectively to better serve their clients. MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN Being asked to serve as Berkeley Law's new dean is the opportunity of a lifetime. Before arriving on campus, I knew a great deal about the school's stellar faculty, exceptional students, and high-impact research, scholarship, and advocacy. But I’ll confess: I didn’t know much about its broad community of alumni and friends. Once I was named dean, however, that changed in a hurry. I immediately heard from a steady stream of alums, many of whom offered gracious well-wishes. While I appreciated their sentiments, it was their overwhelming affection for the law school that made a powerful impression. Since arriving in California, I’ve been meeting with many alumni and friends and continue to be moved by their warm welcome. I’m thrilled to use this forum, my first “Message from the Dean,” to convey my deepest gratitude to this wonderful and diverse community I’m getting to know better every day. Alumni engagement is one of my highest priorities as dean. Berkeley Law can only realize its full potential when we create a meaningful bond across generations, one with a shared sense of mission and identity about what our school is—and what it should be. When we see Berkeley Law as an intergenerational community of incoming students, current students, recent grads, and older alums— all with a genuine stake in the school’s success—each of us benefits. What will ensure that this school continues to thrive is if our alumni and friends give their time, talent, “ This is a truly and resources. We continue to expand our alumni outreach through a growing number of exciting spectacular law programs and events that enable them to help our students through mentoring and networking. school, and I’m I’m deeply grateful that so many of you generously support the law school. Seven of my relatives are proud graduates of the UC system, but none of them encountered the economic hurdles that our exhilarated to be current students face. In today’s state budget climate, private financial support is critical to sustaining part of such a our excellence. special community.” My predecessor, Christopher Edley, Jr., deftly anticipated many of Berkeley Law’s greatest challenges and opportunities. He launched the ambitious $125 million Campaign for Boalt Hall. We surged past this target at the end of 2013 and hit $130 million, an historic accomplishment. This was a bold initiative that enabled the school to flourish in many key areas. I’m honored to follow in Dean Edley’s footsteps, and eager to work closely with alumni and friends to help Berkeley Law deliver on its promise to students, California, and the world. Every one of you receiving this publication can be a key partner in fueling our academic excellence and innovation, opportunity and diversity, and global reach. This is a truly spectacular law school, and I’m exhilarated to be part of such a special community. SUJIT CHOUDHRY Dean and I. Michael Heyman Professor of Law, University of California, Berkeley School of Law 1 THE CAMPAIGN FOR BOALT HALL A Message of Thanks from the Campaign Co-chairs When we signed on to chair the Campaign for Boalt Hall, some colleagues questioned our judgment. A $125 million campaign, nearly 10 times more than any previous fundraising effort? But underestimating the Berkeley Law community, as Dean Edley reminded us, is a dubious endeavor. Sure enough, thanks to you, we exceeded our ambitious goal in December. Tremendous support from foundations confirmed Berkeley Law’s importance to society. Generous estate gifts revealed how the school resonates with alumni. Nearly 50 graduates elevating their gifts to join our Centennial Society showed a willingness to answer the call. The results are enormously gratifying: Increased financial aid. More exceptional faculty. Several new research centers. Much-needed space for our clinics. The list goes on and on. With the majority of alumni not participating in the campaign and state funding dwindling, challenges persist. We urge you to engage with your law school in any way you can, as a volunteer, mentor, student dinner host, or program panelist (to name just a few options). Thank you for all your support—it has truly been our privilege to chair this campaign.
