On Thursday, September 13, faculty, staff, and friends of the family of Robert & Joanne Berkshire gathered to celebrate the new professorship created in the family's name. Professor Colleen E. Medill is the first faculty member to hold the Robert & Joanne Berkshire Family Professor of Law, a chair that was made possible through a generous gift from the estate of Robert Berkshire. During the event, the Berkshires were honored by their children as well as Terry Fairfield from the University of Nebraska Foundation and Dean Susan Poser.
