Dean's Newsletter April 2023
Dear friends,

I have great news to share! As of the March 15 ABA reporting deadline, approximately 90 percent of our talented 2022 graduates are employed in a Bar-required or JD-advantaged position. Many thanks to our career services team, faculty and many of you, who pulled together and worked diligently to help our graduates. A special thank you to everyone who hired our grads and/or provided externships and clerkships, and congratulations to the Class of 2022!

We hosted a number of speakers on campus this semester, sparking lively dialogues on a wide range of topics including forest management, complex litigation, antisemitism, biodiversity, natural rights and the constitution, the Dobbs decision and more. I have been very impressed with the level of discourse. Coming up, you are invited to join us on April 14, for a dialogue on the public defense crisis in Oregon at the Multnomah Courthouse and via zoom. Thank you to the Cornelius Honors Society for organizing this event.

I am enjoying my travels around the country to visit with alums – most recently in Texas. Next stop is Seattle in early June and then on to Alaska! I hope my travels bring me to see you and as always, you are invited to join us on campus.

Warmest wishes,
Dean Jennifer Johnson
