New York Law School alumni from the classes of 1961 and earlier are affectionately named the Old Guard. As a member of the Old Guard you are invited to participate in the Law School’s 119th Commencement Ceremony, on Friday, May 13, 2011 in Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

We are thrilled to announce this year’s Commencement Speaker is Hon. Cory A. Booker, Mayor, Newark, NJ.

In addition to the ceremony, you and a guest are invited to join Faculty, Trustees and Honorees at a reception preceding the ceremony for continental breakfast beginning at 8:30 a.m. at The Center Room Restaurant located in Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center. At 9:15 a.m., a staff member will escort you to your reserved seat in the orchestra section of Avery Fisher Hall.

We hope you can attend this very special occasion. Please respond by April 22nd to Jimena Buitrago, Associate Director of Alumni Relations at 212-431-2189.
