College of Law Graduation 2015

The University of Wyoming College of Law would like to congratulate the Class of 2015 on the completion of their legal education.

Graduation commencement will take place Saturday, May 16, 2015 at the Buchanan Center for Performing Arts. The ceremony will begin at 10:00 a.m. followed by a reception for friends and family in the lobby area at 11:30 a.m.

This year’s graduation speaker is Dean and Professor of Law, Matthew J. Wilson from the University of Akron School of Law. Wilson was named Dean of the University of Akron School of Law in July of 2014.  Prior to this appointment he was a member of the University of Wyoming College of Law from 2009 to 2014 where he served as Professor of Law, Associate Dean of Academic Affairs and Associate Dean of Student Affairs. Dean Wilson is a graduate of the University of Utah with a B.S. in Political Science and a B.A. in Asian Studies and holds a J.D from Temple University School of Law.

Each class that comes through the law school has a unique personality. This class will be remembered as a very friendly, out-going and community-minded class. The Class of 2015 made significant strides in social justice with the creation of a new student organization, Advocates and Allies, and it had a very active Potter Law Club with determination to give back to the community. It has also been extremely proactive in expanding the externship program at the College of Law, leaving behind a trail of new opportunities for upcoming classes. 

The College of Law is exceptionally proud of the Class of 2015 and is excited to see the graduates put their unique talents to use in the legal community. The law school wishes the best of luck to all our graduates!
