"After much consideration, The A.A. White Society was closed to new members on September 1, 2009. The UH Law Center will always be grateful to Dean White and the legacy he helped create. Likewise, the Law Center is ever-grateful to all of the members of the A.A. White Society. The reasons for closing the Society to new members were three-fold:
One, the efforts to build higher levels of membership within the society’s original structure proved too unwieldy;
Two, the current reality of the cost of a legal education coupled with inflation, demonstrated the need to depart from the former giving scheme; and
Three, as our alumni became more successful, and the need to push the Law Center from a strong regional school to one of national prominence intensified, more substantial gifts were needed to achieve our goals."
We honor the alumni below who fulfilled their commitment as Lifetime Members of the A.A. White Society:
The A.A. White Society honors Founding Dean A.A. White for his vision in establishing the University of Houston Law Center. Lifetime Members of The A.A. White Society are honored for contributing $10,000 or more to support the continued excellence of the University of Houston Law Center.
