Give
The School of Law could not maintain its current level of excellence without annual fund gifts. Tuition has never covered the full expense of educating students at St. Thomas. Alumni participation in Annual Giving demonstrates that St. Thomas Law graduates believe in the mission of the school. Your gift is a vote of confidence—a show of support for our students and law school leadership.
Your participation brings fellow St. Thomas Law alumni together for a common purpose: maintaining the School of Law's tradition of excellence and inspired justice. And one way we show our strength is national leadership in alumni annual giving participation among ABA-accredited law schools. Your collective gifts have impact.
We invite you to partner with us on our funding priorities for the School of Law. The University of St. Thomas School of Law continues to live out our mission "as a Catholic law school . . . dedicated to integrating faith and reason in the search for truth through a focus on morality and social justice." This mission statement continues to serve as the School of Law's true north. We know who we are, and we know where we want to go. But determining how we get there requires the development of strategic priorities, which will change over time as we adapt to meet the world's evolving needs.
Find out more about giving to areas of need by clicking the link below.
All thriving relationships require an ongoing commitment—and for the institutions you care about, a continued financial commitment. Making a gift to St. Thomas is an important and critical part of investing in today's School of Law.
We must not forget that all graduates benefited in some measure from the generosity of donors to the school who came before them. A culture of philanthropy and strong stewardship ensure that the law school will continue educating mission-oriented lawyers well into the future.
