Stegner Center Newsletter – Fall 2013

Posted on August 23, 2016August 23, 2016 by Chad Johnson

Director’s Letter

These accomplishments, in turn, have enabled the College of Law to pursue platinum level LEED-certification for the new law building, which will embody sustainability and environmental responsibility ideals that are central to the Stegner Center’s mission. When completed in 2015, the new law building will not only house an expanded Stegner Center office suite but will reflect the College’s commitment to the Center’s core message and values. Read more >>
