Homecoming Wrap-up

The day began with the Alumni Association General Meeting which detailed the accomplishments of the Association over the past year such as the development of an alumni website, a Dean's Newsletter and the launch of a Breakfast Seminar Series for young alumni, as well as the Association's goals for the coming year.

The AGM was followed by a enthralling talk given by David Foot, author of the best-selling books Boom Bust & Echo: How to Profit from the Coming Demographic Shift and the updated paperback Boom Bust & Echo: Profiting from the Demographic Shift in the 21st Century. Gillian McCullough, Osgoode's Director of Alumni relations comments, "David brought to life demographic statistics and made the aging of the massive boomer generation and the coming marketplace of their children, the echo generation, relevant to the changes in the legal profession and society in general."

The highlight of the day was the presentation of the Alumni Association Gold Key Awards. This year's recipients are Thomas G. Bastedo, Robert J. S. Gray, Susan M. Hare, Mary L. Hogan, Diane L. Martin and Hartley R. Nathan. These awards continue to recognize the outstanding accomplishments of our alumni in the community and the contributions that they have made to the quality and welfare of the Law School.

Thanks goes out to the staff of the alumni office for making this year's Homecoming celebration such a success – in bringing together alumni and friends to show their pride in Osgoode, to celebrate the accomplishments of the Law School and its alumni, and to look back fondly on the good times that were had at Osgoode and the long-lasting friendships that were formed here. It is with excitement and anticipation that we all look forward together to what is planned for what is a promising future for Osgoode Hall Law School.
