Noel Nellis ’66 and Art Shartsis ’71 Lead Reunion Gift Campaign
Class reunion campaigns for graduates in classes ending in 1 and 6 are “officially” underway. More than 50 volunteers have committed to helping plan reunion celebrations and fundraise for a class gift. Noel Nellis ’66, a partner in Orrick’s San Francisco office, and Art Shartsis '71, a founding partner of Shartsis Friese LLP, are chairing the overall effort.
Class reunions will be held during Alumni Weekend, September 30 through October 1, in the Bay Area. All gifts and pledges made from January 1 through December 31, will count toward class gifts. More information is available online here.

Richard Buxbaum International Student Fellowship
In honor of UC Berkeley Professor Richard Buxbaum’s 50th year of teaching, fellow alumni and scholars are invited to participate in a global challenge to establish the Richard Buxbaum International Student Fellowship. To read Richard's bio, click here.
The Richard Buxbaum International Student Fellowship will support recipients from all over the world in their studies and research at Boalt Hall. UC Berkeley will match a portion of the annual endowment payout (the amount distributed for current spending); the remainder of the payout will be invested back into the corpus of the endowment to accelerate growth and build a source of continuing support. Your gift will be a lasting tribute to Richard’s extraordinary commitment to international law and will provide future generations of international students access to one of the world’s great centers of legal education — the University of California, Berkeley Law School. Give now!
