64th Annual IP Conference – Welcome back, Provost Poser!
UIC John Marshall Law School celebrates the 80th year of its IP program in 2020. Our time-honored program continues to be well-respected and was a key draw for UIC’s decision to merge with the law school. From the start, we have enjoyed the personal support of Provost Susan Poser, for which we are very grateful.
Provost Poser delivered the opening remarks at our annual IP conference last year and has graciously agreed to join us again this year. She will deliver the closing address and share her thoughts on how the IP program fits into UIC’s strategic priorities. We look forward to welcoming her back, and to continuing to do our small part in UIC’s success story.
