“We’re thrilled to welcome these new Law Board of Visitors and Rose Council members to the Law School,” said Logan Roach (’07), assistant dean, law development. “In addition, we’re looking forward to former members of the General Counsel Advisory Committee bringing their in-house legal expertise as new Law Board of Visitors members. Each and every one of these people brings a unique and valuable perspective that is needed in legal higher ed. I am deeply grateful for their willingness to serve as volunteer leaders as we continue to shape the future of Wake Forest Law under Dean Andy Klein’s leadership and President Wente’s vision for the future of Wake Forest.”

The Law Board of Visitors and Rose Council meet regularly throughout the year to collaborate with Wake Forest Law leadership. Members provide strategic counsel; contribute their expertise across legal, business, nonprofit, and community sectors; and serve as ambassadors for the Law School. They play an active role in supporting student success, enhancing alumni engagement, and advancing key initiatives through their volunteer service.
