The University of Toledo College of Law will dedicate its recently renovated auditorium during a ceremony today in honor of Judge Richard McQuade and his wife, Jane McQuade.

The ceremony and dedication for the Richard & Jane McQuade Law Auditorium will take place at 4:30 p.m.

The McQuades' recent gift includes funding for UT's athletic department and is only the latest in the couple's long history of philanthropy and service to the university.

Judge McQuade is a 1965 graduate of the UT College of Law and served as a university trustee, and his wife is a member of UT's Women & Philanthropy Committee.

Past gifts by the pair have funded the McQuade Courtroom, a teaching courtroom used by the paralegal studies program in the Judith Herb College of Education, Health Science and Human Service.

Ms. McQuade also created the Interview Suit Award to provide four UT law students who might not otherwise have the means with a tailored suit as they interview for employment.
