From the Law School

In February, the Law School hosted the first African-American Law Alumni Reunion. The weekend marked the 60th Anniversary of the first black graduate of William & Mary, Edward Travis, ’54. The weekend drew over 70 alumni and guests and included a program of speakers and panels, as well as an opportunity to network with current W&M Law students. The annual BLSA Oliver Hill Dinner was also held during the weekend. For a pictorial recap of the weekend, please visit the celebration website.
