This year, for the first time ever, the Center for Global Law and Policy joined with Santa Clara University Global Engagement Department, and the Santa Clara Law LLM program to hold a joint, Global Graduation Celebration. The event was held in the Nobili Hall on Thursday, May 18 at noon.
Tseming Yang (Director of the Center for Global Law and Policy), Vangie Abriel (Director of the LLM program), Susan Popko (Associate Provost for International Programs), and Melissa Heid (Director of International Students and Scholars) celebrated our graduates with speeches and toasts and conferred special sashes in recognition of their accomplishments.
The event was well attended by family and friends from around the world and included CGLP-affiliated faculty Mike Flynn, Phil Jimenez, Don Polden, Sue Guan, and Taylor Dalton.
We were thrilled to host this joint celebration and to resume celebrating in person after many years online. A list of graduates is included below:
