Your opportunity to give to the Legal Studies Program is here with #UMassGives!
From April 29th – 30th, every gift you give to the Legal Studies Program will go directly to supporting life-changing opportunities for students!
Please help us continue to provide student support, guidance, and skills-based opportunities that will enhance the student experience and position students for success after graduation.
Included among our many funding priorities for this year are:
- Support for internship development and placement in law offices, the judicial system, government offices, public interest organizations, and many others
- Providing paid research opportunities for students to work directly with faculty members using a hands-on training approach
- Expanding scholarship funds to provide students the financial support they need and deserve
- Supporting student-based clubs, hosting visiting lecturers, and holding interactive seminars so that students are immersed in a wide variety of learning opportunities and community engagement across campus
Your gift will help enhance student success and every gift counts! Please give today!
Thank you for your consideration,
Lauren McCarthy
Director of Legal Studies
