Alumni Reunion and Tailgate Party
Ian Bruce Eichner '69 had "fond memories" of his three years at the College of Law and, more than 40 years later, he decided to give back by creating a fellowship program. This summer, two 3L students, Matt Mikhail and Yinan Zhang, gained hands on legal and business training at Eichner's New York City real estate development business, The Continuum Company LLC. Their exploration of non-traditional career paths came as part of the Eichner Family Foundation Entrepreneurship Fellows Program started by the Continuum CEO. 
The path to working at The Continuum Company was far different for Yinan Zhang, '13, than fellow classmate and TCC intern Matt Mikhail '13. While the actual process in applying for and being accepted as an Eichner Family Foundation Entrepreneurship Fellow this summer was the same, she has a unique story as to how and why she ended up at the College of Law. 
Mikhail, a 3L, spent 10 weeks living and working in Manhattan, as part of a fellowship program created by College of Law alumnus and CEO of The Continuum Company LLC (TCC), Ian Bruce Eichner. Mikhail and classmate Yinan Zhang received hands on legal and business training working for Eichner’s real estate development firm. 
Prospective students are well aware that a legal education can be a significant financial investment. What's news at the University of Cincinnati College of Law is what professors have initiated to make things a little easier for students. They've established the College of Law Faculty Scholarship Fund. Specifically, the College of Law Faculty Scholarship Fund will provide necessary financial support to our law students that will help offset the rising cost of legal education. To kick off this initiative, nearly $40,000 was raised, with the average gift exceeding $1,000. 
About 100 people from 36 countries were sworn in as new U.S. citizens Friday, September 14 in a naturalization ceremony held just days before Constitution Day, the anniversary of the U.S. Constitution. The College of Law has hosted the program several times; but what made this year's program even more poignant were the words of support provided by UC's President Dr. Santa Ono and 3L Shahane Martirosyan, both naturalized citizens.
