Class Gift

Donate to the Class of 2012 Gift Fund

The Class of 2012 has chosen as their class gift to fund a physical rejuvenation of the Jonathon B. Chase Community Center. The Chase Center originally served Vermont Law School as a law library, but over the years has found new service as the campus student center. The multipurpose space is used for lectures, presentations, town meetings, student bar association gatherings, orientation, commencement, reunion, receptions, and student performances.

The Jonathon B. Chase Community Center Renewal Fund will restore and revive this important campus space, which holds deep meaning for students and alumni as a place where inspiration, innovation, and academic excellence take shape. It is in this spirit that the Class of 2012 is supporting the physical rejuvenation of the Chase Center.

The class has set a fundraising goal of $50,000 in gifts and pledges by June 30, 2012. The Fund will support the law school in making improvements to the Chase Center's staging, lighting and sound systems, physical appearance, and furnishings. Students will assist the administration in making decisions about the priority and detail of each project.

Please join the Class of 2012 in rejuvenating the Chase Center for future generations of VLS students. Your support is greatly appreciated.

2011 Class Gift

Community involvement has been a defining characteristic of the Vermont Law School student body since the school’s inception.

2010 Class Gift

The class is working to raise $50,000 to establish the Class of 2010 Erin Woolley Scholarship.
