Fisher gift puts law school over $15 million mark

The Max M. & Marjorie S. Fisher Foundation's recent $500,000 gift to the Wayne State University Law School has increased the total amount raised for the Wayne First Law School Campaign to $15,950,000. The gift benefits the construction of the Law School's Damon J. Keith Classroom Building and Center for Civil Rights. Frank Wu, dean of Wayne State's Law School, noted that in addition to the Fisher Foundation gift, other philanthropists and foundations have been very generous in their support of the Law School. "In April of last year, we were fortunate to receive $3 million from A. Alfred Taubman, also for the new Keith Building and Center. And while local support has been crucial, we have also benefited from the generosity of national foundations, and numerous alumni and friends," Wu said.
