Richmond Law would like to wish a happy retirement to Steve Allred. Prof. Allred has been with the University since 2008, first as Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs before dedicating himself to full-time teaching in 2015. Thankfully, we were able to hold an in-person party to celebrate his years of service to the Law School and the University as a whole. Enjoy retirement, Prof. Allred. You will be missed!
