The Scalia Law Dean’s Alumni Advisory Board was established in August 2021 to assist in articulating and implementing the law school’s strategic vision, to expand our base of support for the law school’s programs, and to raise awareness of what we do.
The board supports the school in its aspiration to be nationally and internationally recognized in key strategic areas of innovative training of legal education, cutting-edge research, and a overarching global perspective. Specifically, members (1) advise and assist with the articulation of the school’s strategic vision; (2) raise resources for the school’s various programs; and (3) advocate for the school within the community. This group spans class years, professional industries and backgrounds.
For more information on the Dean’s Alumni Advisory Board, please contact Ken Turchi (kturchi@gmu.edu), associate dean for external affairs.
