Not sure what to say?

Thank you for providing an opportunity to keep the memory of Dean Alexander "Alive".

Thanks for creating openings within the legal profession for all Santa Clara Law School students. "A mind is a terrible thing to waste." (UNCF slogan) Dean Alexander was truly a visionary of where the U.S. Constitution could take Humankind.

The "Thing" I remember most when I think of Dean Alexander his deep desire to place within each of us that had the privilege of being a law student at Santa Clara the ability to impact the lives of the global community. I will be forever thankful that he had vision of taking Santa Clara Law School to the highest level of excellence.

I will always "Give Thanks" for the people "God" placed in my life to guide me to "Him". Dean Alexander continues to be my guiding light in understanding "The Rule of Law".

A pure person is one who joins a movement before the movement itself is a thought . Dean Alexander was indeed "Pure" in his desire to give "Our Constitutional" system an ever changing life, insuring a constant stream of " new births of Freedom".

His was a life well lived professionally and personally. His memory will continue to be a blessing for all those who were honored to know
him.

I'm so sorry to hear of George's passing. What a wonderful person and inspiring professor he was. I also enjoyed his wry humor and big heart.

Dear Katherine and family--My deepest condolences on the loss of such a caring and dedicated man.He did so much for the legal rights of the indigent. His encouragement at SCU guided me in creating paralegal intern positions in many county agencies. And oh what a great sense of humor he shared. He will be missed.
