Letter from Dean Mazza: 2025 Annual Report

This article is from the 2025 Annual Report of the University of Kansas School of Law.

As we reflect on the accomplishments of the past year, I am grateful for the steadfast support of KU Law’s alumni and friends like you, whose generosity makes our continued success possible. Thanks to your commitment, KU Law remains a national leader in public legal education.

This year, we are proud to again rank among the Top 25 Public Law Schools in the nation by U.S. News & World Report and as the No. 5 Best Value Law School according to The National Jurist. These honors reflect not only the strength of our programs but also the tangible impact of your support — enabling us to offer substantial scholarships, reduce student debt and strengthen innovative bar exam preparation initiatives.

Your investment ensures that a KU Law education remains accessible and transformative, empowering our students to serve their communities, pursue meaningful opportunities and begin their legal careers with confidence.

In this annual report for fiscal year 2025, which concluded on June 30, you will find highlights of how your generosity has made a difference, along with a list of our valued donors.

Looking ahead, your continued partnership will be essential to KU’s Onward capital campaign, with a university-wide goal of raising $2.5 billion to advance KU’s mission. To learn more about the law school’s campaign priorities, visit onward.kuendowment.org or contact me directly — I would love to hear from you.

Thank you for being a vital part of the KU Law community and for your enduring commitment to our students and their success.

Stephen W. Mazza
Dean and Professor of Law
