“Our fingerprints don't fade from the lives we touch.” - Judy Blume
Not a week goes by when I don’t receive a positive message about the extraordinary teaching of our faculty. I’m pleased to share emails I’ve received these past few months. Our faculty’s fingerprints will never fade from the lives they’ve touched.

Monday Morning Message 3.4.24 Democracy Awakening
“Today’s crisis in democracy has brought us back to the same question that haunted the Founders: are the principles on which this nation was founded viable? Is it really possible to create a country in which everyone is equal before the law and entitled to have a say in their government, or are some people better than others and thus have the right- and the duty – to rule? ” - Heather Cox Richardson, Democracy Awakening: Notes on the State of America

"A New Era of Responsibility in Space: Eliminating the Threat of Orbital Debris"
Man-made orbital debris poses the single greatest threat to the sustainable use of Earth’s orbit and puts at risk the space-based infrastructure on which society has become ever more reliant for everything from communications and navigation to tourism and national security. A series of new developments suggests that the international community is taking bold new steps to eliminate this risk and usher in a new era of responsible behavior in outer space, most notably the April 2022 U.S. moratorium on kinetic anti-satellite tests which has now gained significant international support.

“The brick walls are there for a reason...they are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something." - Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture
The Ohio Bar Exam is tomorrow and Wednesday. I want our most recent graduates, many of whom graduated last December, to know that we believe in them…… so I’ve taken the liberty of writing this brief message to them.

Monday Morning Message 2.19.24 27 Presidents
"I desire so to conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end, when I come to lay down the reins of power, I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside me." – President Abraham Lincoln
With all due respect to America’s doctors, dentists, nurses, engineers, architects, and business executives, no profession is more responsible for producing America’s local, state, and national leaders than the legal profession.
No profession is more common among U.S. Presidents and among those who founded our country.
Monday Morning Message 2.12.24 A Law Degree That Fits Your Life and Jumpstarts Your Future.
“I imagine getting this program up and running has been a monumental lift, so I wanted to make sure you heard from me saying thank you. It would be difficult for me to be going to law school in person, given my circumstances and where I live, so this opportunity has been and is very important to me…..I want to thank all the folks who have worked tirelessly to pull this program together so that people like me can have an opportunity to study the law. – Student, CSU|LAW J.D. online part-time program
