"The USC Gould School of Law is an extremely special place - I loved every minute of it. It goes without saying that I want to continue to support Gould. I showed up at law school seven months pregnant with my son. Professors, students and staff were absolutely supportive. I learned so much - totally new concepts for me and a way of thinking that I rely on to this day."
