“Words cannot express the gratitude I have for the scholarship you all have so kindly decided to offer me…You all have given me the opportunity to fulfill my destiny and for that I am forever grateful ! My son will one day be able to say that his mother was given a chance despite financial hardship, and this blessing can teach him that if you dream big enough, no obstacle will be big enough.” -recent 1L Student

Please join us on the first Friday in November - November 5, 5:30pm - for our 4th Annual C|M|LAW Hall of Fame Celebration honoring our 2021 C|M|LAW Hall of Fame Honorees and our 2021 Leader on the Rise, Kimberly Kendall Corral '12. Please see the below invitation. 

Our 2021 Hall of Fame Inductees have carried the torch of our mission and have made it burn brightly. They have used their voices and their knowledge of the law to make real change and to make a real difference.

The November 5 Hall of Fame event gives us the opportunity not only to honor our distinguished honorees but also to raise much-needed funds for scholarships for first year students admitted to our Fall 2021 class. The Hall of Fame celebration is the only annual fundraising event sponsored by the law school. 

For a number of our students, a scholarship makes the difference between getting a legal education or sacrificing their dream. This is our single best opportunity to raise funds for much-needed student scholarships.

Please make a contribution or pledge this week to our November 5 Hall of Fame celebration of an amount ranging from $120 to $12,000. This year’s event will be virtual, and if you make a contribution for the event, we will send you the Zoom link a few days before the celebration.

Please visit csulaw.org/hof_registration to purchase tickets, sponsorships, or an ad in our program book in honor of one or more of the 2021 inductees, or to just donate to the Hall of Fame, text JUSTICE to 216-400-5145.

In this intensely competitive law school environment, the best way to attract talented law students and increase enrollment is through scholarships. 

The CSU Cleveland-Marshall Hall of Fame was created in 2017, CSU C|M|LAW’s 120th anniversary year, to honor those exceptional leaders who have contributed to the past, present, and/or future success and reputation of CSU C|M|LAW. The inductees include living and deceased distinguished alumni, community leaders, and former faculty and staff.

For a complete list of all the members of our Hall of Fame, go here: CSU C|M|LAW Hall of Fame Members. See our most recent Tribute Video here: 2019 Hall of Fame Video

If you have any questions about the Hall of Fame, please do not hesitate to contact me, Ellen Grevey, Assistant Dean for Advancement (e.greveynull@csuohio.nulledu), Amy Miller, Director of Donor/Alumni Relations (a.l.miller86null@csuohio.nulledu), or Ashley Presutto, Assistant Director of Advancement (a.presuttonull@csuohio.nulledu). 

Again, congratulations to our 2021 inductees! Registration is now open to attend and/or sponsor the 2021 Induction Celebration.
