Letter to the Alumni Association<br />
Dear Fellow Alumni <strong>of</strong> <strong>Texas</strong> <strong>Wesleyan</strong><br />
<strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong>:<br />
Over the past 20 years, our law school has<br />
evolved into a community <strong>of</strong> leaders. Our law<br />
school has been tremendously successful,<br />
and we look forward to many wonderful<br />
celebrations in our 20 th year and future years.<br />
As an alumna, I know you are grateful for<br />
the outstanding education you received at <strong>Texas</strong> <strong>Wesleyan</strong><br />
<strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong>. Each one <strong>of</strong> us has a standard to uphold as we<br />
continue to walk in the footsteps <strong>of</strong> those who were leaders<br />
and students before us.<br />
I am extremely proud <strong>of</strong> our law school and its great successes.<br />
Our law school is exceptional and an invaluable resource<br />
for the legal community. It pleases me to see the increased<br />
recognition <strong>Texas</strong> <strong>Wesleyan</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong> is receiving<br />
nationally and in our local community. I am truly honored to<br />
serve as your alumni association president.<br />
This has been a difficult year for many <strong>of</strong> us and our families<br />
with the current state <strong>of</strong> the economy. Even in these difficult<br />
times, our alumni are giving back to the law school in record<br />
numbers. Alumni who have never given before are making<br />
donations. This is a wonderful tribute to <strong>Texas</strong> <strong>Wesleyan</strong><br />
<strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong>. It shows that even in adversity our law<br />
school is strong. I thank all <strong>of</strong> you for your contributions<br />
and donations.<br />
Your alumni association board is here for you. We need your<br />
input to define those opportunities that we want to accomplish<br />
as an alumni association. You may contact me or any board<br />
member directly. I invite all <strong>of</strong> you to get involved with our<br />
committees. We have many exciting events and projects<br />
planned but cannot accomplish our goals without the help <strong>of</strong><br />
fellow alumni. Because we are a young alumni association, we<br />
have great opportunities to get involved on the “ground floor.”<br />
Your involvement and feedback will pave the way for future<br />
alumni. Even if you cannot get directly involved, there are<br />
many ways to give back, including attending alumni events<br />
such as luncheons and events for the 20 th anniversary.<br />
I look forward to your participation in our alumni<br />
association and appreciate your ongoing support <strong>of</strong> the<br />
law school. Please visit the alumni association web site at<br />

the law school, alumni and activities.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Caroline K. Akers ’04, president<br />
<strong>Texas</strong> <strong>Wesleyan</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong> Alumni Association<br />
