Reception Celebrating the Jeffrey Poilé G/L/B/T Civil Rights Scholarship

with Special Guests Assemblymember Mark Leno and National Center for Lesbian Rights Executive Director Kate Kendell, Esq.

Dean Elizabeth Rindskopf Parker and Professor Larry Levine invite you to a reception featuring Assemblymember Mark Leno and National Center for Lesbian Rights Director Kate Kendell, to celebrate the continuing success of the Jeffrey Poilé GLBT Civil Rights Scholarship. By creating this scholarship, named for Professor Levine's deceased partner, McGeorge becomes one of only a handful of law schools that provide a scholarship earmarked for those planning to use their legal degree to further the legal rights of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community. The reception will also serve as the official kick off of the McGeorge GLBT Alumni Association.

The celebratory reception, co-sponsored with SacLEGAL, will be held on Thursday, March 2, from 6 - 7:30 pm, in the Student Center on the McGeorge campus. There is no charge for this event, which will include comments from both Kate Kendell and Mark Leno, but RSVPs are requested. You may RSVP by e-mail to alumnimcgeorge@pacific.edu or by phone to (916) 739-7141.

Immediately following the reception, Dean Parker will host a dinner for those who contribute at least $500 to this important endeavor. However, gifts to support the scholarship are welcome in any amount and are tax-deductible as charitable gifts.
