Dean's Message

 Dear Alumni and Friends:
As we approach the end of the year, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all of our alumni, students, faculty and staff for the hard work and determination that makes our school, as well as each of them, such a success. When I see how our current students, alumni and faculty are making an impact on the local and global community in which we live, I am proud to be a part of this great work. As you see in this edition of the e-newsletter, and will soon see in the printed edition of our IU Law-Indianapolis Alumni Magazine, exciting achievements are happening every day.
I never forget that the philanthropic generosity of alumni and friends of the school helps to make our work possible. To those who have already donated this year, I say thanks, and I hope many others will join the ranks of our supporters before the end of the year. Happy holidays to everyone!
Sincerely,
Gary R. Roberts
Dean and Professor of Law
