Tulane President Emeritus Scott Cowen Visits
C|M|LAW on February 20
Scott Cowen is President Emeritus and Distinguished University Chair of Tulane University and served as Tulane's 14th president from July 1998 through June 2014. Named by Time Magazine as one of the nation's Top 10 Best College Presidents, Cowen led Tulane through the most trying period of its history when, in August 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated the city of New Orleans, flooding 70 percent of Tulane's uptown campus and all the buildings of its downtown health sciences campus. Tulane's faculty, staff and students were dispersed around the country for an entire semester. The story about what happened next is fascinating.

Two C|M|LAW Students Form CSU's
Blockchain Law & Business Association
Last spring, then-1L Cleveland-Marshall College of Law students
Patrick Lipaj and
Elliot Nash were looking for something that would peak their interest and allow them to get more involved with the C|M|LAW community. Around that time, both of them read
Blockchain Revolution, a foundational book on blockchain technology, and learned about the
Blockland Cleveland initiative led by Bernie Moreno, then chair of the Cleveland State University Board of Trustees. Immediately realizing the revolutionary potential of blockchain to impact numerous industries, the two friends decided they wanted to delve into the subject from an educational perspective and formed the
Cleveland State University Blockchain Law & Business Association (BLBA).
The duo developed the Blockchain Law & Business Association with the goal of being a platform to educate and connect CSU law, business and general population students with other interested students as well as others in the community working in the blockchain space. They also hope to help a greater portion of the CSU community understand blockchain through the association's outreach.
Professor Brian Ray, director of C|M|LAW's
Cybersecurity and Privacy Protection Center, serves as BLBA's faculty advisor.

C|M|LAW will participate in CSU's sixth annual Giving Day on February 13. The law school, in competition with
CSU's other colleges, hopes to garner support from at least 150 C|M|LAW community members. Help C|M|LAW reclaim its title as the most supportive college at CSU!
