On Saturday, October 26, 2024, at 6 p.m., the NCCU School of Law will hold its 85th Anniversary Gala at the Cotton Room at Golden Belt in downtown Durham. This gala is not just a celebration of our past: it is a tribute to the students, faculty, alumni, and friends who have made significant contributions to our institution and the legal profession. The 85th Anniversary Gala is an occasion for reflection, gratitude, and connection. It is a time to celebrate the achievements of our distinguished alumni who have made remarkable strides in various legal fields — whether in public service, private practice, or academia. We take pride in acknowledging the legacy of those who have paved the way for future generations of legal professionals.
This gala also serves as an opportunity to support scholarships, programs, and initiatives that continue to enrich the student experience and strengthen our community. We warmly invite you to join us in celebrating this remarkable journey. Tickets are $225 per person and can be purchased at law.nccu.edu.
