Do You Accept The Challenge?

As UC Hastings Alumni, we are honored to chair the UC Hastings Challenge—a campaign designed to encourage alumni at law firms, organizations  and corporations to reconnect with our alma mater.

Volunteer representatives take the lead in inspiring their UC Hastings work colleagues to join together and meet the 100 percent giving challenge. Any gift or pledge you make to UC Hastings during 2013 counts toward your participation, so it is easy to help your firm or corporation achieve victory in 100 percent giving.

By participating in the Challenge, graduates help UC Hastings raise essential funds, increase overall alumni giving participation, strengthen the UC Hastings alumni network and enhance the profiles of their organizations. Our collective fundraising efforts are especially important during these challenging economic times when state funds allocated to UC Hastings have been significantly cutback.  The consequence is that students are currently paying increased tuition that is comparable to that of private law schools. 

Join us in accepting the Challenge and help us make a real difference for our law school now.  

We Invite You to Join the Challenge!

We are excited to announce that Phil Mathews of Duane Morris will be joining Alyce Rubinfield Fox of Musick Peeler & Garrett as Co-Chair of the UC Hastings Challenge! If your firm, corporation or organization is not already participating in the Challenge, we invite you to join us in this important program. Get involved by contacting Robin Drysdale in the Alumni Center at 415.565.4852.
