Since he began serving the School of Law as dean in July 2003, Donald Polden has traveled around the country to meet alumni and talk with them about his vision for the school. In many instances (as noted below), law school alumni helped plan and host the events. Several law firms have also sponsored receptions, including Hopkins & Carley, hosted by Arthur Plank ’76; Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, hosted by Casey McGlynn ’78; and Berliner Cohen, hosted by Joseph E. Dworak ’79.
