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!
