Whether they’re learning virtually or joining us on campus, our Flex JD students are building the knowledge, connections and experiences that will shape their legal careers.

Here’s to the year ahead and all that’s still to come!

A milestone worth celebrating. A community worth celebrating. 🎉

Albany Law School has closed its most successful fiscal year to date, with more than $2.175 million in gifts and commitments to the Annual Fund, the first time in our history that the Annual Fund has surpassed $2 million.

And that generosity is making a difference. From student scholarships and Bar support to emergency assistance, experiential learning, and academic programs, the support of our community helps create opportunities for today’s Albany Law students and strengthens the future of our school.

In total, the law school received more than $4.4 million in new gifts and commitments during the 2025–26 fiscal year.

As we celebrate 175 years of Albany Law, we’re grateful to everyone who continues to support our mission.
