ALUMNI EVENT PHOTOS
The stars that night were shining bright when the University of Houston Law Center held its 40th Annual Law Gala and Auction in April
2016 with the theme “Texas Under the Stars.” More than 400 guests filled the Azalea Ballroom at the Westin Houston Memorial City,
appropriately decked out with lush flowers and hammered copper and cowhide accents. Prominent alumni and faculty were honored,
auction items had bidders reaching for their checkbooks, and the Austin band, Reckless Kelly, played into the night. Most importantly,
the event raised nearly $400,000 to fund scholarships, special programs, technology advances, faculty research, and various student
organizations and activities at the Law Center.
