New Location for Graduation

Here's some news I just heard that should be of interest to the S.A. law community:

St. Mary's University School of Law is moving its graduation ceremony from on campus to downtown. My classmates and I walked the stage at the school's traditional graduation location, the Bill Greehey Arena. Many law students didn't like the thought of receiving their diploma on a basketball court, so the Student Bar Association--and Keith McMahon in particular--worked to convince the law school administration to change that.

As Keith announced in an email to law students, in 2009, the law school graduation ceremony will take place at the Municipal Auditorium, followed by a reception at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.

So congrats to Keith and the SBA for their hard work. (Although I have to admit I am a little jealous.)
