  • Provide leadership and service time for strategic fundraising priorities including scholarships, programs and capital projects;
  • Serve as a bridge to the legal and business community of Silicon Valley, the public sector and beyond, and advocate for the importance of a holistic legal education that embodies the Jesuit mission of service to humanity;
  • Participate in activities involving students, faculty and staff that increase the visibility and/or reputation of Santa Clara Law in the community and beyond.
