UM Regents Name Law Commons for Aikens

By

At their Feb. 17, 2011 meeting, the University of Michigan board of regents officially named the law school commons in honor of Robert B. Aikens. A 1954 graduate of the law school, Aikens gave the university a $10 million donation for the school’s current expansion and renovation project, which includes the new commons. It’s the largest gift ever given to the law school by a living individual, according to Jerry May, vice president of development.

This brief was filed from the regents boardroom in the Fleming administration building. A more detailed report will follow: [link]
