Why Give to Bowen?
The William H. Bowen School of Law offers a challenging educational experience in a close and supportive environment. Outside support is critical to the School’s continuing success. Your support helps us excel in an increasingly competitive marketplace.
Every gift buys something Bowen would not have otherwise — each book in the library is important to the student reading it, and each computer is vital to learning. Each year, small gifts amount to thousands of dollars.
Gifts to the Annual Fund support the best elements of the Bowen Law School — small classes, low faculty-to-student ratio, a beautiful campus, one-on-one attention. Without financial support, it would be difficult to maintain and improve these assets.
Gifts to other designated funds — these gifts allow the Bowen Law School to pursue endeavors outside the normal budget restrictions like scholarships, faculty and staff development, student organizations, student competitions, professorships, etc.
The tradition of philanthropy keeps the institution strong and competitive — the value of a Bowen Law School diploma depends on the standing of the school and its ability to continue to improve.

Spears for his committment, love for teaching, and contributions made to the students he taught, the legal community, and the Bowen Law School.
