[ INSTITUTE OF LAW ]
Garvey Institute of Law
Endowed in fall 2003, the Garvey Institute of Law serves to perpetuate Willard W. Garvey's long-standing interest in graduate-level education and to enhance application of the analytical skills and legal knowledge gained from the student of law to business and professional practice within the American free-enterprise system.
Throughout his life Willard W. Garvey, Wichita-area philanthropist and entrepreneur, had a passion for building, education and volunteerism, including a deep belief that a good legal education could enhance success in business. To this end, the Garvey Institute of Law will provide significant enhancement and expansion to the already established excellent reputation of Friends University's programs in business and human resource management, further enabling Friends' graduates to serve the business and professional community of Wichita and the surrounding region with excellence and integrity.
Willard and Jean Garvey Lecture Series
will invite distinguished speakers and experts to Wichita, serving as a resource to the legal, business and professional communities. These invited experts will provide lectures, workshops and/or short courses in current topics to students, professionals and community members in south-central Kansas.
