¿ìèÊÓƵ was thrilled to host a reception honoring former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan on May 7th, 2018.  Over 100 key supporters gathered at the University Club of St. Paul for the reception, which was held in recognition of the 30th anniversary of ¿ìèÊÓƵ and the 10th anniversary of our law book program, the Jack Mason Law & Democracy Initiative.
