With great sadness, the School of Labor and Employment Relations announces the passing of beloved former Dean, Walter Franke, on Sunday, July 2.

The Nash-Kamat family established a $30,000 endowment to help new students defray their educational costs at LER. The School is extremely thankful for Mara and Aaron, their family, their continuous support, and the impact that they have made on future students. We are appreciative of the family’s gift and their desire to uplift and support the LER family.

Donors help LER provide an unmatched experience for students - from guest speakers and site visits to scholarships and building renovations. Thank you for your support.
