LEGACY BALL CO-CHAIR

Teresa D. Hudson, Esq.

As co‑chair, of the 2026 TMSL Legacy Ball, I am honored to welcome you to this year’s celebration, inspired by the symbolism of a passport: a record of journeys taken, borders crossed, and futures pursued with purpose.

The TMSL Legacy Ball opens the doors to a journey worthy of the TMSL legacy—an evening where the elegance of a gala meets the solemn purpose of our institution, and every guest becomes part of a global passage toward justice, opportunity, and impact. It is an evening where excellence, service, and institutional pride converge.

Entering its 5th year, the TMSL Legacy Ball remains one of the most distinguished traditions of the Thurgood Marshall School of Law Alumni Association.

The Legacy Ball is a critical instrument in our mission to expand access to legal education, widen the path for students to become advocates, counselors, and community leaders. This all begins with a single opportunity—an opportunity your generosity helps secure. Each contribution becomes a “stamp” in their professional journey, marking progress, opening doors, and affirming that their destination in the legal profession is within reach.

Tonight, we gather not only to celebrate tradition, but to chart new courses for the scholars who will carry the TMSL legacy forward. Your support strengthens the foundation upon which future attorneys will stand—rooted in equity, excellence, and the enduring principles of justice. Protect It. Improve It. Pass It On.

With a grateful heart,
