New Era for Alumni Association and Board

In Fall 2004, Dean Jack Guttenberg initiated a strategic planning process for the Capital University Law School Alumni Association. Since then, a dedicated group of alumni volunteers have worked with the Office of Alumni Relations staff and an external consultant to draft a new mission and vision for the Alumni Association. During this process, a new Alumni Association Board was formed which included former board members and new volunteers. On Friday, June 10, 2005, the new Capital University Law School Alumni Association Board held its first working meeting and adopted the following mission, vision, core values and key result areas in which it will work:

Mission

  • We will support and connect alumni;

  • model professional standards;

  • assist with student recruitment, mentoring and placement;

  • and help strengthen the Law School’s reputation and resources.

Vision

  • Credibility, pride and career success of graduates;

  • every alumnus involved with the Association and the Law School;

  • a significant and growing endowment;

  • and a Law School known for its tradition of academic excellence and superb service to community and profession.

Core Values

We are committed to:

  • Stewardship of our degrees by giving back to the Law School, its students and the profession.

  • The highest professional standards.

  • Providing access and opportunities to the profession.

  • Working together in the spirit of team.

Key Result Areas

  • Networking/Connectivity to the Law School

  • Student Enhancement

  • Professional Development

  • Strategic Feedback/Needs Assessment

  • Fund Raising

Throughout the next year, the Alumni Association Board and the Law School staff will begin engaging the entire Alumni Association within the five key result areas. From networking or social events, to professional enhancement opportunities, from assisting in student recruitment to participating in an alumni survey, the new Capital University Law School Alumni Association strategic plan is poised to improve the alumni relations efforts by re-engaging all Capital University Law School alumni.
