For the Future: The Campaign for Penn State Students
The Dickinson School of Law has announced a $35 million fundraising goal as part of the University’s $2 billion capital campaign, For the Future: The Campaign for Penn State Students. In the largest fundraising effort in our 175-year existence, the Law School has already received more than $26 million from our alumni and friends. The campaign is set to conclude in 2014.
Message from the Dean
The past six years for Penn State University, The Dickinson School of Law have been extraordinary: over thirty outstanding new faculty appointments; an investment of more than $130 million in facilities and programs; an integrated international curriculum second to none; a dramatic elevation of the academic credentials and diversity of our student body; and substantial, ongoing support from a university committed to the Law School’s recognition as one of the top major research university law school’s in the nation.
One of the most exciting aspects of this transformation has been the resulting enthusiasm among other leading Penn State scholars and academic units for collaborative relationships with the Law School, thus catapulting our faculty to the forefront of interdisciplinary exchange.
All of your gifts to The Dickinson School of Law are counted toward our $35 million For the Future campaign. Your support ensures our trajectory of success and makes it possible for us to continue to attract the most qualified students, recruit and retain faculty at the pinnacle of their fields, and to provide a rich, interdisciplinary program of study.
