A Legacy of Leadership: The Class Scholarship Challenge

In 1969, the Class of 1973 inaugurated our current campus. Fifty years later, they pioneered a new tradition of philanthropy.

To mark their 50th reunion, the class raised over $100,000 to create a new student scholarship. “Lewis & Clark Law helped so many of us begin a very fulfilling life journey,” says Jeff Teitel ’73. “We wanted to find a way to help others.” Joining Jeff in this endeavor were ’73 classmates Greg Hathaway, Lee Mathews and Howard Dietrich.

Their leadership has created a ripple effect. The classes of 1975 and 1984 have followed their lead, launching their own scholarships and building a powerful legacy of support for future students.

Most graduates of law school go on to practice law, working in law firms or providing legal counsel to organizations and businesses. Yet, for some, the lessons of law apply more broadly, and the outcome of their law school education has been a surprising and successful career outside of law. Here are just a few of our alums who followed an alternative route.
