**This Giving Day, the Faculty of Law is raising funds for the Honourable Lionel Jones Memorial Endowment in Law. The endowment, which was established in 2021, provides support for students in the Faculty of Law who self-identify as Black, Indigenous or Persons of Colour (BIPOC).** 

**It honours Lionel Jones, a renowned alumnus who achieved numerous milestones in the legal profession – beginning with his call to the bar in June 1964 when he became the first Black man and the second Black lawyer to be admitted to the Law Society of Alberta. He later became the first Black person to be appointed as a judge to the Provincial Court of Alberta and subsequently as a justice of the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta.**

**By supporting us on Giving Day, you are helping the faculty become the law school of choice for Black, Indigenous and other students of colour, a learning environment where they feel welcome and where their excellence is both realized and celebrated. We hope you will be inspired to help us realize this goal.** 

**By donating to the Lionel Jones Memorial Endowment, you are supporting BIPOC students through scholarships, awards and bursaries, research support, educational or program support, and more.** 

**The first $5,000 raised by the Faculty of Law on Giving Day will be matched by institutional funding.** 

**Thank you for supporting our vision for a more equitable and inclusive future for legal education!**
