Across the nation, hundreds of<br />
thousands of elders are being<br />
abused, many in their own homes.<br />

Dean’s Message<br />
Guided by Values,<br />
Supporting Our Mission<br />
AFTER 10 TERRIFIC YEARS,<br />
I have decided to step down as dean of<br />
the School of Law at the end of this<br />
academic year. For now, my work<br />
continues unabated until summer, when<br />
I will take a sabbatical.<br />
I came to Northeastern because I was<br />
attracted to the history, mission and values<br />
that are at NUSL’s core. As we embark on<br />
the search for a new dean, I have no doubt<br />
that the work we do here will continue<br />
