SAVE THE DATE: 2020 Homecoming & Reunions
We just received word that the 2020 University of Arizona Homecoming football game will take place on October 31, 2020. All Arizona Law alumni, students, and friends will be invited to celebrate with the law school community in the days leading up to the game, so save those dates!
Also during Homecoming Weekend 2020, we will celebrate a number reunion classes: 1970 (50 years!), 1975, 1980, 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015.
Start making your plans to celebrate 2020 Homecoming and Reunions with Arizona Law now!

(As part of the activities of ENID IIJ, we share photos from the first class of Dr. Francisco José Paoli Bolio, in the Diploma of Mexican Law at @uarizona.)

I often note that, for our students, it is hard to find a weekday without a choice of pizza, burritos, or sandwiches -- always with a healthy serving of intellectually filling ideas, talks, and debates.
Should you visit our college, you are welcome to join those daily events. We hope that highlighting some of our high-profile and community-facing events will tempt you to plan some time with us.
And of course we want to involve our alumni and friends in celebratory events such as the Annual LCA Awards Celebration (on March 6).
Warmly,
|
