This week we introduce you to Arizona Law's new director of development,
Megan O'Leary.
Megan recently relocated from Portland, Oregon, but she is a UA alumnus and a Wildcat through and through!
I'm delighted to have Megan on board.
She is excited to build upon the great dedication of our alumni, friends, and donors to help shape and strengthen our college and to support our fantastic students.
There will be many opportunities for you to share your unique Arizona Law story with Megan in the coming year, including at regional alumni receptions (next up, Feb. 27 in Phoenix!
mwhite@email.arizona.edu), the upcoming Board of Visitors meeting (Feb. 2), Scholarship Luncheon (Feb. 16), the 2018 LCA Awards Reception (Mar. 2), and at any number of college-wide
events this spring.
Thank you for making time to talk to Megan when she reaches out. And there is no reason to wait! You can contact her at 520-626-1330 or
moleary@email.arizona.edu.
Welcome, Megan!
Until the footnotes,

Introducing Megan O'Leary
The University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law is pleased to announce Megan O'Leary as the new director of development.
Megan and her team are responsible for engaging alumni, donors, and friends in giving programs, homecoming and reunion events, awards celebrations, student scholarships, and lectures throughout the year. Her appointment in November 2017 followed an extensive national search.
Megan is a Tucson native and University of Arizona alumna who formerly served on the Alumni Association's Wildcat for Life Leadership Council.
She comes to Arizona Law with 15 years of experience in the social sector, including her most recent position as director of membership services at the Oregon Entrepreneurs Network.
Megan began her career by serving in AmeriCorps for two years, followed by a decade of service in the education space, where she developed programs, managed staff, trained volunteers, raised money, and executed special events.
In 2011, she led the startup of City Year's 22nd U.S. location in Sacramento, California, and successfully opened the doors in six months.
Megan says she anticipates meeting as many alumni and friends of the college as possible, and has spent her initial time at the college connecting with faculty and staff and learning about the innovative approach Arizona Law takes in educating students, working with employers, and serving the community. She
says:
"I am blown away by the opportunities Arizona Law creates for students and am honored to return to campus to join that effort. Arizona Law provides access to the law for students and citizens, not just here in Tucson, but increasingly in a global way. I'm eager to connect people and resources in order to help continue that important work."
