As the Law School`s first dean Needham Yancey Gulley said, "This institution has loomed large in my life." On this #FacultyFriday, we honor and celebrate our faculty members who have "loomed large" in the lives of so many students. Each faculty member pictured is holding a sign that shows how many years they have been at the Law School—from 21 all the way to 43 years! We are immensely grateful to them for their years of dedication and devotion to our students and to our community.

Today, we were honored to join Winston-Salem State University @wssu1892 on their beautiful campus to kick off an impactful partnership between our two institutions. WSSU Chancellor Bonita Brown and Wake Forest Law Dean Andy Klein signed a memorandum of understanding to create a pathway for WSSU students to pursue a JD at Wake Forest Law.
Thank you to WSSU’s Provost Anthony Graham and Dean Manju Bhat, Judge Denise Hartsfield, and @wfuniversity Chief Diversity Officer José Villalba for their insightful and moving remarks during the ceremony. And a special thank you to WSSU student Kiara Lassiter, whose inspiring words were the perfect reminder of why we do what we do—for students to have every opportunity to thrive, succeed, and ultimately change the world.
