UA law school scores high in Hispanic publication

In its September 2003 Hispanic Education Report, "Hispanic Business Magazine" rates the James E. Rogers College of Law at the University of Arizona in Tucson as fifth in the nation in its "Top Ten Law Schools for Hispanics."

The magazine cites the college as nourishing "an ethic of public service and community involvement (which) enrolls a diverse body of students with intelligence, energy and commitment."

Scientists find half-billion-year-old ancestral mountains

The world's highest mountains, the Himalayas of Nepal, India, and Bhutan, are built on the foundations of a much older mountain system, University of Arizona geoscientists have discovered.

They have dated rocks that show Earth's mightiest range is predated by ancestral mountains that existed in the same area between 450 million and 500 million years ago, long before India began plowing northward into Asia 55 million years ago.

Former student leaves gift for Anthropology scholarships

Anthropology students at the University of Arizona have received an unexpected gift from a woman who was a student in that department more than 40 years ago.

Nancy D. Sullivan, Class of '62, died in September 2001. Sullivan, who was a college friend of renowned Southwest folklorist Jim Griffith, left the bulk of her estate to her mother, Gertrude E. Epler, with the stipulation that upon Epler's death, the remainder of the estate would be given to the University of Arizona Foundation.

Epler died Oct. 22, leaving approximately $640,000 to create the William and Nancy Sullivan Scholarship Endowment Fund in the department of anthropology. Interest from the fund will be used to provide scholarships for students majoring in anthropology.
