Baker Hostetler Gift Supports Mentoring Program
The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law announced today that the Baker Hostetler Endowment for Professional Development will support the Mentoring and More @ Moritz program. The $500,000 gift was made by the national law firm Baker Hostetler and will support the mentoring program which brings together law students and practicing attorneys for a monthly speaker series and lunch. During the programs, speakers address pressing issues or trends facing attorneys today, which are then discussed by small groups of mentors and students in more detail.

Law Firms, Alumni Hit the Road for Pelotonia
In reality, everyone’s inspiration is a little bit different. Some ride in remembrance of a loved one. Others for the camaRIDErie. Others still for the love and respect of the institution. Whatever their story, on August 19-21, dozens of Moritz alumni will hit the road and pedal their way toward ending cancer as part of Pelotonia. The event, in its third year, raises money for cancer research and 100 percent of the funds raised is used for essential and innovative research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC-James). Riders select one of several distances between Columbus and Athens, Ohio and raise funds to support their ride.

“I am inspired by a combination of things, any one of which would have been sufficient by itself. First, I know and have great respect for Dr. Caligiuri and what he and his colleagues are doing at The James – this is a very worthy cause (both of my parents had cancer); second, I really looked forward to and have enjoyed training with my colleagues at Porter Wright – we have had a lot of fun on those long rides around Ohio; third, it is a great event for our community – cycling is cool; and fourth, I needed the exercise,” said Robert W. “Buzz” Trafford ’77, who will be riding 180 miles and wasn’t much of a cycler before his first Pelotonia in 2009.
