Support Penn Law's "Bold Ambitions" Campaign

Here are the highlights of what the campaign will support:

A top-notch and expanded faculty, second to none: $63 million

So much depends on faculty who move the mind and stir the spirit. Additional endowment will give Penn Law the means to draw more of the top talent, with professorships in a variety of legal disciplines.

Student aid to keep the best and brightest coming: $65 million

Penn Law students are remarkable by any standard, and most choose among the nation's top law schools. More endowment will help Penn Law offer competitive financial aid.

Cross-disciplinary institutes that will be to the legal world what think tanks are to government: $4 million

Cross-disciplinary institutes stir new thinking and help Penn Law educate people in the role of integrator. Penn Law looks to establish new institutes in areas such as Law and Health Sciences, Law and the Constitution, and Law and the Global Community.

Modernized facilities that foster a challenging but personal experience: $15 million

Penn Law has invested heavily in facilities in the last decade, but more projects await - renovations to the Dean's suite, the lower floor of Silverman and Pepper Halls, "The Goat" and adjacent areas. Additional renovations will create seminar-style classrooms that foster interaction and the free flow of ideas.

Program support and increased annual support to sustain every day excellence: $28 million

While endowment provides Penn Law with a financial foundation, term gifts sustain the every day excellence of Penn Law's efforts. During the campaign, Penn Law plans to grow annual giving at 5 percent a year. This will allow increased support to be given to the Biddle Law Library, the Gittis Center for Clinical Legal Studies, and the Institute for Law and Economics.
