December 2020

Dear Bowen supporter:

Bowen students are in the midst of finals as the year comes to a close. During this holiday season, we take stock of 2020 and count ourselves grateful to have a supportive network of alumni and donors who help make our mission possible.

Add Bowen to your holiday shopping list

On the first of the month, you should have received an email from Dean Theresa Beiner asking for a year-end contribution towards the Bowen Holiday Wish List. The letter also gives an update on some of the accomplishments the school has achieved with your support. You can read it here.

Trial Team News

In late October, one of Bowen's trial teams competed in the EAST bracket of the All Star Bracket Challenge Mock Trial Competition. Team members Laura O'Hara, Jordan Slatten, Ryan Joyner and Cody McKinney participated in this all-virtual competition consisted of 64 teams, many nationally ranked, from across the country. The students performed impressively throughout and finished 7th (missing sixth place by one point) in their bracket, and had an overall finish of 23rd place after all rounds. We are proud of all the work they put in and the results achieved.

Additionally, the EAST bracket awarded Ms. Slatten one of the advocacy awards for her performance during the competition. It was her first competition. To learn more about Ms. Slatten, read this article.

Emergency Support

Bowen has established the Student Emergency Aid Fund to provide financial support to law students in times of crises or financial uncertainty.

Additionally, the school maintains a stocked food pantry available to students, staff, and faculty. The food pantry is currently in need of personal toiletries, grocery store gift cards, shelf-stable microwavable meals, and other non-perishable items.

To make a monetary donation online, please visit this website and designate your gift to the law school and include emergency aid fund or food pantry in the "other" category. To arrange an in-kind donation, please email Director of Student Services Rebecca Nugent or email Ashley.
