Your law firm or office is invited to participate in University of Houston Law Center’s 100% Challenge which is designed to strengthen the connection between alumni, law firms, legal departments, and the Law Center. Participating firms and offices aim to achieve 100% participation. The UHLC 100% Challenge is a meaningful way for your organization to help support students and their legal education through the Law Fund. The Law Fund supports the Dean’s priorities for the Law Center, including student scholarships, career service programs, student organizations, faculty recruitment and retention and much more.
Recognition
Law firms that complete the challenge – those that reach 100% alumni participation during the fiscal year (September 1 – August 31) are recognized as 100% Giving Challenge Participating Organizations on our website and in our annual Impact Report.
