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 />
