Harvey Kurtz, '75 on giving back because the law school helped him develop his career and of its willingness to change

As a new graduate, giving back to the law school did not occur to me as being either necessary or important. But, over time I learned that my training in how to think about and analyze the law was better than I first knew, and I discovered in my reunion visits that the law school had changed in some important ways. I saw law students enjoying themselves(!) and faculty that had, to some extent, opened themselves up to the students. So, I changed my mind about giving something back. It was a remarkable change of heart for this anti-institutional child of the 60's. I give back to the law school because it helped me develop a fine career and because the school realized it needed to change, and did.
