For Dean Andy Klein, making sure students remain at the center of operations at Wake Forest Law is a top priority. “We owe them our full attention and our best efforts,” he says. “I want to demonstrate that in all ways.”
And he does.
From supporting student events and fundraising for student scholarships, to chatting with students in the hallway and meeting with alumni, his student-centric approach to leadership stands out.
One year into his tenure as dean of Wake Forest Law, he’s making plans to not only continue these efforts, but amplify the ways the Law School focuses its efforts on the student experience.
