2013 Graduating Class Gift
San Diego (April 1, 2013) - Each year members of the graduating class leave their mark on USD School of Law by contributing to a gift that is unique to their class. Through the support of their class gift, graduates build on USD’s culture of philanthropy and make an impact on an area that is important to them.
The 2013 Graduating Class Gift will be in memory of Professor C. Hugh Friedman, the law school’s longest standing faculty member who passed away in January. With the funds, the graduates will memorialize Professor Friedman and pay tribute to a great teacher and mentor through an endowed scholarship fund.
USD School of Law expresses its sincere appreciation to members of the class who supported the fundraising effort and to the planning committee for its leadership and outreach efforts. Please join us in congratulating all members of the graduating class on this milestone.
