As the university seeks to create the Division of Access, Opportunity, and Community Engagement, the School of Law is evaluating and updating its strategic plans. The review is to ensure alignment with the goals of fostering partnerships, access, and engagement that strengthen our sense of community, enrich learning and development, enhance research, and ensure opportunities for all. The School of Law will share additional details once the review process and updates are finalized.
