Dean's Message


Dear Alumni and Friends:
     The law school community is starting 2006 with a combination of enthusiasm and pride.  We are very much looking forward to IUPUI's Chancellor, Charles Bantz, naming a committee later this semester to conduct a nationwide search for a new dean for our school. Alumni, faculty, students and university and community leaders will make up the committee, which will be charged with searching for a permanent dean to begin in the Fall of 2007.  More details concerning this important development in the future of the law school will be availalble in subsequent issues of this e-newsletter. 
    I look forward to seeing you at a law school event this Spring.
         
         Best Regards,
       
        Interim Dean, IU School of Law - Indianapolis
