Thank you for supporting the Center for Women in Law by becoming a member of our Alice Sheffield Circle.

The Alice Sheffield Circle consists of donors whose cumulative gifts to CWIL exceed $100,000. This Circle honors Alice Sheffield, Class of 1918, the second woman to graduate from Texas Law and the youngest woman certified at that time to practice before the Texas Supreme Court. Sheffield donated more than $500,000 to The University of Texas during her lifetime and bequeathed $3.5 million upon her death, making her the school’s most generous benefactor up until 1985. She began working for the Gulf Oil Corporation in 1925 and spent her long and successful career in its legal department, advancing to associate general counsel. We look forward to the day that our collective efforts match her generous gifts.

CWIL recognizes these generous donors on a listing on a plaque at Texas Law as well as on our website and in the Center’s annual Impact Report. They are invited to the Women’s Power Summit, the Annual Retreat, the Award Luncheon, and other CWIL events.
