Dean’s Message
E
very year seems to y by, but this academic year seems to have passed faster than most. I
thank you all for your dedication and hard work that made this a successful year and for your
comradery and professionalism that continued to sustain the culture and legacy that is Cumberland.
• I wish everyone a pleasant and productive summer.
• Our spring graduates, of course, will be preparing for bar exams. at will require a
tremendous commitment of energy and time from graduation until the exam. I think you will nd the early days
of your bar review courses somewhat enjoyable as you begin to realize how much you have learned in the last three
years and to discover that you really understand most of it. As the days turn to weeks, though, the process becomes at
best tolerable. As that happens, you must keep pushing; do not let your focus and commitment wane. Your diligence
and perseverance will pay o with success on the bar exam.
• Finally, I wish for our graduates satisfying and successful careers and lives. Remember that your rst job is not
your career—only part of it. It may take some of you longer to nd your ideal jobs than others, but I am condent
that with work you will nd your niche. As you pursue your goals across the country and around the world,
remember that you have friends here on a hillside in Homewood, Alabama who care and want to help. Please stay in
touch. Godspeed.
