From Sheridan Haynes, Director

As the cost of a legal education continues to increase, private financial support for student scholarships has become even more critical. We cannot thank our donors enough for their continued support.

From Dean Harroz

When I meet with alumni, I am always amazed to discover how many have never made it back to Norman. While I encourage you to come tour the campus (you won’t believe the changes!), I am equally as eager to come visit you in your hometowns. I hope to see you at an upcoming alumni event.
