A Message from Alicia:
As 2022-2023 President of Southwestern University School of Law's Alumni Association Board of Directors, I am honored to welcome all alumni back to campus to join us at our upcoming Homecoming Celebration and lead the Alumni Board's efforts. This year, we continue to focus on alumni engagement, strengthen our culture of philanthropy for Southwestern's programs and student needs, and elevate Southwestern's excellence throughout the Country. When I come across other Southwestern lawyers in the field and I share my experience working with the Alumni Association, it is met with warmth and curiosity about what we do and how to get involved. We welcome each and every alum to join us in our work to raise our collective profiles, encourage legal discourse and understanding, and grow our networks in the law. If you do just two things involving us this year, I encourage you to join us at our Homecoming and sponsor our work to honor our fellow alumni at our Alumni Gala in the Spring! Go Bison, and welcome back home!
