Class Gift

Ohio Northern University Pettit College of Law Class Gift Campaign

The generosity of graduating classes has long served to support student scholarship and capital improvements at the Pettit College of Law. Each year, the graduating class gift committee strives to encourage their classmates to participate to continue to make the Pettit College of Law a better institution for classes to come.

The 2010 Class Gift Campaign kicked off on January 21, 2010. This celebration was hosted by The 2010 Class Gift Committee: Rachel Kasper, Bobbi Lyon, Megan Schenk, Jessica Shanshoum, Keesha Warmsby, Brian Anderson, John Fenz, and Harlan Vondersaar. If you have any questions or you would like to become involved with your Graduating Class Gift, please contact any member of the committee or the Office of Law Development.

2010 Class Gift Designation

Funds raised by the Class of 2010 will support Future Renovation of the Alumni Moot Court Room. The new Alumni Moot Court Room will allow students to explore ways in which technology can be used to enhance their litigation skills. The project includes the addition high tech equipment such as high resolution digital overhead presenters, video projectors and monitors and computer terminals. The floor plan will be redesigned and expanded to allow for more efficient use as a courtroom and classroom.

2010 Class Gift Committee Goals

Each year the class gift committee sets goals and expectations for their class, and strives to reach these goals during the Class Gift Campaign. This year, the committee has set two goals:

Minimum fund raising of $10,000.00
Engagement of as many students to maximize class participation

Any amount given will help us reach our fundraising goal and increase our class participation rate.
