Seventy alumni volunteers helped us spread the word to their classmates about coming back and giving back for Reunion 2018. With their help, we set several new records during Reunion: most dollars raised for classes celebrating their 50th and 30th Reunions and a new overall giving total of over $4 million! Three classes worked together to create three separate scholarships or awards at the Law School: the Law Class of 1998 Scholarship and the Sam Bartholomew Leadership Award, created by members of the class of 1973 in memory of their classmate, Samuel W. Bartholomew, Jr. (JD’73), are both fully funded, and the Law Class of 1968 Scholarship is currently 80% funded. These funds will ensure that the future of Vanderbilt Law School remains bright and will stand as a testament to the camaraderie and spirit of these classes.
