Dear Friends,

As we enter Reading Week and bring this year to a close, I wanted to thank you all for an amazing year.  For the graduating 3Ls, I'm sure you've already begun to reflect on the time and memories you've shared with each other and all of us.  Don't worry, you have left a lasting impression and your legacy will remain.  For the 1Ls, there will be plenty of time after you turn in your LRWA final to remember the good times spent here at USF.  I'm only assuming you're feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment.  For my dear 2Ls, we've had a year.  Thank you.  Given all that has transpired over the year, I find it fitting that this is simultaneously our Centennial Year.  So I raise the proverbial glass to toast all of us.  Have a wonderful summer advocating for justice, taking the bar, and globetrotting.

Shaun T. Greer
