The celebrations began on Thursday, November 16, 2000 with the dedication of the Levy Conference Center. University of Pennsylvania President Dr. Judith Rodin and Law School Dean Michael A. Fitts presided over a gala reception and ribbon-cutting which took place in conjunction with the Law School’s annual Benefactors Dinner. In 1998, Karen and Paul S. Levy L’72 funded the renovations of Sharswood
Hall with a gift of $2 million. In gratitude for their generosity, Dean
Fitts presented Mr. Levy with a rare 1900 architectural rendering of Sharswood
Hall by architects Cope & Stewardson, and a replica of the wall plaque
that commemorates the Levys’ gift.
