Greetings,

Thanks to everyone who participated in Giving Day, we raised more than $60,000 for programs that directly benefit Arizona Law students. Our community is truly supporting the future of the College, and of the entire legal profession.

Read on,

Jason

University of Arizona Law felt the love during Giving Day, a 24-hour fundraising effort in support of the university and its students. This year, over 35 generous donors, which included alumni, faculty, staff, students, family and friends, donated $60,080 in support of the Huerta Scholarship Program, the Toni M. Massaro Public Interest Student Fellowship Endowment and the College of Law Student Scholarship Fund. 

The University of Arizona received over 1,300 gifts, totaling over $25 million, towards students, scholarships and programs across campus. 

“Giving Day is such a meaningful reminder of what our community can do when we come together for our students,” said Shannon Walker, director of Alumni and Development. “This year, every gift was focused on supporting them—and we are truly grateful to everyone who chose to give. We are especially thankful to Jim Diamond (’14), Marian Salzman and Vicki and Craig Fleischer for their generous leadership, which helped inspire participation and expand the impact of Giving Day.” 

The Huerta Scholarship program, established in 2014 in honor of Judge Lawrence Huerta (’53), provides financial support to Indigenous law students attending the College of Law. The Toni M. Massaro Public Interest Student Fellowship Endowment provides permanent, endowed support in honor of Dean Emerita Toni Massaro to support students from the Justice Advocates Coalition Fellowship Program who accept unpaid summer positions in public interest organizations. And the College of Law Student Scholarship Fund makes a meaningful difference in the academic journeys, careers and long-term economic well-being of deserving students.

It’s not too late to participate. If you missed Giving Day, consider supporting the college today.

The University of Arizona Agnese Nelms Haury Program recently announced that Associate Librarian, Head of Collections and Project Manager Jessica Ugstad and Associate Dean of Legal Information Innovation, Director of the Daniel F. Cracchiolo Law Library and Professor of Law Teresa Miguel-Stearns, along with Maurice Upshaw (Diné), GIS Supervisor, Water Management Branch, Navajo Nation Department of Water Resources, are the 2025–26 Haury Indigenous Resilience Leadership Awardees for their work with the Navajo Nation Department of Water Resources Library Preservation Project (NNDWRLPP).

Under Jessica’s leadership and in consultation with Maurice and Navajo Nation Tribal leadership, the NNDWRLPP is digitizing 8,250 print resources from the Navajo Nation Department of Water Resources library, including current and historical maps, reports, water access records and other documentation. Over a multi-year effort, digitization is helping to preserve the documents for use by the Navajo Nation in supporting water rights claims, and also allows access for a broader audience. You can read more about the project in the Law Library’s Annual Report and on the Special Projects page of the Law Library website.

The Haury Program seeks to develop innovative and practical solutions to environmental and resilience challenges. The Haury Indigenous Resilience Leadership Award honors people and programs that advance, uplift and support Indigenous resilience goals, with particular attention to those that address the ways in which climate change is having a disparate impact on Indigenous communities.

The awardees will be recognized during a reception at the College of Law on Wednesday, April 8, from 1:30 to 3 p.m.

IN THE NEWS

X, @uarizonalaw

Supporting Arizona Law students takes many forms. Sometimes it means making a financial gift. Sometimes it means interviewing and hiring our students and recent graduates. And often, it simply means showing up—attending College of Law networking events, welcoming students into the conversation, or sharing career advice over coffee.

For all the ways this community bears down and gives back, thank you!

Onward,

Jason
