As dean of the University of Dayton School of Law, Lisa Kloppenberg championed curricular reform, bringing national recognition for the way the school rethought legal education. She will step down as dean on June 30, 2011, after a decade of service and return to the classroom.
During her tenure, Kloppenberg also led successful efforts to diversify the faculty; re-ignite a greater spirit of service in students, who are performing pro bono hours in record numbers; and boost job placement rates. She is one of just 40 female law school deans, according to Association of American Law Schools. When appointed, she was one of the youngest deans in the country and the first female to lead an Ohio law school. The University will launch a national search for her successor.
