On Saturday, February 18, 2023, at 10:00 AM Central, Center for Advanced Legal Studies (CALS) will hold its 71st Commencement Ceremony for graduates of its paralegal programs. Due to the large number of graduates who reside outside of the Houston area, this event will return to a virtual live stream to better acknowledge the accomplishments of all graduates. As always, CALS is committed to making this a special event for graduates and their friends and families.

A total of 80 paralegal credentials will be conferred. Paralegal Certificates will be awarded to 64 graduates, and Associate of Applied Science Degrees will be awarded to 16 graduates. Congratulations graduates on your hard work, dedication, and accomplishments.

The commencement address will be presented by Sherri Schulze Fossati, CEO, PHR. Ms. Fossati holds the Professional in Human Resources (PHR) credential and is founder and CEO of We're Boss, a company providing consulting and administrative services for law firms. We are delighted Ms. Fossati has agreed to provide the commencement address to our most recent graduating class.

The event will be moderated by CALS' Director of Outreach and Career Services, Tami Riggs, with contributions from members of CALS faculty and staff.

Please share the following links with your friends, families, and colleagues. The ceremony will be streamed on YouTube at 10:00 AM, and attendees can share their comments and photos on the Facebook event page located at https://www.facebook.com/events/2194730624247834/?active_tab=discussion
