Dean's Circle

The Dean’s Circle honors alumni and friends who contribute $2,000 or more in a calendar year. Beginning in 2025, the Dean’s Circle donor listing will feature enhanced recognition levels, celebrating those who exceed the entry threshold with exceptional generosity.

Students and alumni within five years of graduation may join with a contribution of $500 or more per year. Lifetime membership is granted to donors who have given $500,000 or more cumulatively.

We deeply appreciate all who support the University of New Mexico School of Law. Membership in the Dean’s Circle reflects a shared commitment to legal education and student success. Our law school takes pride in its rich history and inclusive community, and we look forward to building a bright future together.
