College of Law Graduates and Friends Exceed All Previous Years Gifts to the Law School
January 27, 2004
The College of Law received gifts from graduates, friends, faculty and staff and organizations totalling $549,920 for fiscal year 2003, a 20% increase over last year.
Law school graduates themselves increased their giving by 15% to a total of $162,441. This includes a record percentage participation rate of 17%, up 4% from last year!
Two law firms, Fisher & Phillips and Hunton & Williams earned 100% participation in the annual fund, with each Georgia State law graduate at those firms contributing to support the College of Law. We especially thank our volunteers, C.R. Wright at Fisher & Phillips and Misty Speake and Jo Lynn Gavin at Hunton & Williams for their leadership and terrific work!!!
Several classes met or exceeded the goal of 20% participation.
They include:
1984 - 29%
1997 - 25%
1998 - 20%
2000 - 23%
2001 - 20%
2002 - 26%
Congratulations and thank you to everyone who supported the law school during this past fiscal year!
