HAIL! MINNESOTA 
Minnesota, hail to thee! 
Hail to thee our college dear! 
Thy light shall ever be 
A beacon bright and clear. 
Thy sons and daughters true 
Will proclaim thee near and far. 
They shall guard thy fame 
And adore thy naf11e; 
Thou shalt be their Northern Star. 
Like the stream that bends to sea, 
Like the pine that seeks the blue, 
Minnesota, still for thee, 
Thy sons and daughters true. 
From thy woods and waters fair, 
From thy prairies waving far, 
At thy call they throng, 
With their shout and song, 
Hailing thee their Northern Star.

Dear Class of 2014: 
Congratulations on this very important milestone in your life! With your graduation,

friends, resources, and supporters as you embark on your legal career. 
Wherever your career may lead you, the Law School community will be your asset. 
Your cache of relationships with classmates and other alumni of the Law School will 
be valuable for career development,job opportunities, marketing your practice and 
other ventures, and personal enrichment. Your days in Mondale Hall will be the catalyst 
for conversations across the entire arc of your profes~ional and personal life. And by 
remaining an active alumnus, you will retain your connection with the Law School and 
embrace the opportunity to give back to future students and graduates. We look forward 
to hearing from you about career and personal achievements and seeing you at Law 
School alumni events far into the future. 
You are also joining the larger University of Minnesota community, and I am happy to 
offer you a complimentary one-year membership in the University of Minnesota Alumni

allows you to participate in a wide range of opportunities and activities. Later this year,

U.S. SECRETARY OF LABOR 
THOMAS E. PEREZ 
Thomas E. Perez was nominated by President Obama to serve as the 
nation's 26th secretary of labor, and was sworn in on July 23, 2013. Prior 
to serving as labor secretary, Perez served nearly four years as assistant 
attorney general for the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department 
of Justice, overseeing its efforts to uphold the civil and constitutional 
rights of all who live in the United States. Under his leadership, the 
division implemented the Shepard-Byrd Hate Crimes Prevention 
Act; expanded equal housing opportunity; protected schoolchildren 
from discrimination, bullying, and harassment; expanded access to 
employment, housing and educational opportunities for people with 
disabilities; protected the right to vote for all eligible voters; and 
safeguarded the employment, housing, fair lending, and voting rights of 
military service members. 
Perez has spent his entire career in public service. He was the first 
Latino elected to the Montgomery County (Md.) Council; headed the 
state of Maryland's Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation, 
where he enforced wide range of consumer rights laws; served as 
special counsel to the late Senator Edward Kennedy; and directed the 
Office for Civil Rights in the U.S. Department of Health and Human 
Services. He also was a professor at the University of Maryland School 
of Law, and he has taught at the George Washington School of Public 
Health. 
Perez holds an AB. in international relations and political science from 
Brown University, a J.D. from Harvard Law School, and an M.P.P. in public 
policy from Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government.

GIFT FROM CLASS OF 2014 
The Class of 2014 is happy to facilitate the Law School's culture change to 
financial self-sufficiency and greater alumni participation. A great number of 
the Class pledged to contribute financially to the Law School in each of the 
next three years. In honor of the Class of 2014's efforts and significant pledges, 
the Office of Advancement graciously contributed $5,000 for a post-graduate 
fellowship for a Class of 2014 graduate to pursue public interest work.

YouR LAw ScHooL, FOREVER 
Welcome to the University of Minnesota Law School alumni community, 
which consists of over 12,000 living alumni all over the world. The Office of 
Advancement works to maintain a lifelong association with graduates by 
creating opportunities for you to keep in touch-with the Law School, with 
the greater University, and with each other. We are a resource for a variety 
of information and services to assist our alumni worldwide.

WE ARE HERE FOR YOU 
A few of the things we do with and for alumni ... 
Hold receptions both in the Twin Cities and in major metropolitan areas 
around the country, often hosted by fellow alumni or their firms. Alumni 
are even invited to some events internationally. 
Host the Annual Spring Alumni Weekend, featuring events and CLE's for 
all alumni as well as special class reunions for the 5-year milestone classes. 
Your first reunion will be in 2019! 
Hold recent graduate happy hours in the Twin Cities for alumni of the last 
10 years. We also organize Emerging Professional events with the University 
of Minnesota Alumni Association, to allow our graduates to meet and 
network with University of Minnesota graduates from other schools. 
Provide e>Community, an online network and directory that allows you 
to find and connect with other alumni by practice and employment area, 
region, class, law school activities and other interests. 
Work with the Career Center and other Law School partners to offer 
free CLEs for alumni. 
Send out a monthly digest email of upcoming alumni events and volunteer 
opportunities. 
Send out the Perspectives alumni magazine, and quarterly e>Perspectives 
e-newsletter, celebrating and sharing many alumni success stories and 
helping our graduates stay updated on developments at the Law School. 
Offer an array of volunteer opportunities-from serving on the Alumni Board 
of Advisors or one of its committees, to being a firm agent in the Partners 
at Work fund raising challenge program, or a reunion volunteer, regional 
ambassador, admissions recruiter, speaker on campus, or by participating 
in on-campus recruiting and career options night, to name a few .. .
