University of La Verne College of Law Dean Gilbert Holmes gave his “Last Lecture” to 37 faculty members and students Tuesday in the President’s Dining Room.
Holmes, who joined the College of Law as dean in 2013, will retire at the end of the academic year.
Holmes’ short lecture reflected on some of the challenges of his tenure as dean, including achieving American Bar Association accreditation.
The actors made their way to the stage, subtly signifying the start of “Defamation.” The lights dimmed and the debate between a black woman and a white man over stolen property began.
To some, art is known to be austere and fluid within multiple meanings, but the work represented at the gallery “Deeply Uncompromising: 125 Years of Mission,” was far from unintentional.
Gilbert Holmes, dean of the College of Law, expresses his gratitude to those throughout the institution for their hard work with the accreditation process.
University of La Verne President Devorah Lieberman discussed the University’s achievements, challenges and upcoming plan to improve the academic climate during her State of the University address Wednesday in LaFetra Hall.
