A Message From the Dean

We are all proud of our membership in the Gator Nation, and we are grateful for the enduring benefits we receive from our affiliation with the College of Law at the University of Florida.

By nearly every measure, the University of Florida Levin College of Law is an excellent law school. We have achieved exceptional quality in our programs, faculty and student body, but this would not have occurred without the generosity and loyalty of our alumni and friends.

As recent visitors to our campus know, the love of our alumni for their college of law is evident everywhere you look — from our beautiful, state-of-the-art classrooms to the elegant functionality of the Lawton Chiles Legal Information Center. Less tangible but of even greater importance is the quality of the education we offer our students, and the significant impact these students go on to have on our profession and our world.

We are proud of our tradition of preparing law students for leadership roles in the workplace, the profession, our communities, the state and the nation. What is Florida Tomorrow? Florida Tomorrow is about affirming this tradition and extending it more fully into the future. By the conclusion of the Florida Tomorrow campaign, we hope to add resources that will further develop and expand innovative program areas that impact policies and decisions not only at home but also throughout the world. We hope to have resources sufficient to attract and retain top faculty, support our students through enhanced programming and financial aid, and continue the transformation of our facilities into the academic space that is best suited to prepare our students to practice law and to lead in the world of tomorrow.

I invite you to read more about what your support can mean for Florida Tomorrow in this publication and others. I also invite your questions, and I would welcome the opportunity to discuss possibilities for partnership with your college of law further. Thank you for your interest and support.

Sincerely,

Dean Robert H. Jerry, II
