On October 5, Georgetown University Law Center launched its 150th Anniversary Year of celebration with a week of special, virtual programming and the completion of a successful fundraising challenge.<\/p>\n

Anniversary programming is set to continue throughout the academic year. Upcoming events include virtual events focused on Georgetown Law’s history and the work of its Institute for Technology Law and Policy and its Center for the Advancement of Law in the Americas (CAROLA).<\/p>\n

The 150-Hour Giving Challenge<\/em>, held September 29 to October 5, raised over 400 gifts totaling more than $400,000.<\/p>\n

In a separate effort, Law Center leaders aim to raise 150 gifts of $150,000 or more by June 30, 2021.<\/p>\n

The 150th Anniversary Week, held October 5-9, highlighted a diverse cross-section of alumni and faculty members. Virtual programs examined the Law Center’s leadership in the areas of national and global health law, voting rights, national security law, and racial and criminal justice reform.<\/p>\n

Recordings of programs held that week and throughout the academic year are available on the 150th Anniversary website<\/span>(This link opens in a new tab)<\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n
