Get Involved

Alumni involvement extends far beyond financial support. Our alumni teach at the law school as members of the adjunct faculty, employ other Vanderbilt Law graduates, and form an impressive professional network in addition to volunteering to organize class reunions and fundraise.

Here is more information on some of the ways you can stay involved with Vanderbilt:

Class Reunions

Classmates reunite every five years to commemorate their experiences as students and to catch up with each other. Class Reunions are scheduled each fall, and each class has a committee to help plan events and raise money. If you want to be involved in your Reunion, please call 615-322-2606 or e-mail Development & Alumni Relations.

Class Agent Program

Every fall class agents from each graduating class lend their assistance to the law school's fundraising efforts by writing letters, sending e-mails and making personal phone calls to their classmates encouraging unrestricted giving. The Class Agent Program is a key component of the law school's annual giving campaign.

Firm Giving Program Representative

Each spring, alumni volunteers representing law firms and corporations on behalf of Vanderbilt to encourage their fellow alumni to contribute to the law school. There are alumni representatives at almost every law firm or corporation employing three or more Vanderbilt Law alumni around the globe. Firms and companies that achieve 100% alumni giving participation for at least one firm location are recognized on the annual Firm Honor Roll.

If your firm has three or more VULS alumni and you are willing to volunteer as a Firm Representative, please call 615-322-2606 or e-mail Development & Alumni Relations.
