from statewide reports

Many of the over 300 Wayne State University Law School alumni in the area out of less than 2400 Kent County members of the Michigan Bar may want to attend the 2011 Wayne Law Alumni Reunion Weekend Sept. 23-24.

This year’s reunion weekend honors graduates of the classes of 1961, 1971, 1976, 1981, 1986, 1991 and 2001. Not too many Grand Rapids attorneys serve on the host committees for those years, but both Carolyn Almassian of the U.S. Attorney’s office and Michael Almassian of Keller and Almassian PLC are on the 2001 committee.

The weekend will kick off with an alumni reception from 6:30-8:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 23, at the Detroit Athletic Club. On Saturday, Sept. 24, attendees will enjoy breakfast with Dean Robert M. Ackerman, faculty and student presentations, and building tours at the Law School from 8:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. The weekend concludes with individual class dinners on Saturday evening.

“These reunions provide a remarkable opportunity for our alumni to connect with each other, as well as with Wayne Law faculty members and students,” said Wayne Law Alumni Officer Kathryn Koehler. “We are thrilled to host this year’s Alumni Reunion Weekend and look forward to catching up with many of our outstanding alumni.”
