McHenry began his term as president and dean in July, succeeding Marc B. Mihaly. Formerly a partner with Gibson Dunn in Los Angeles, Calif., McHenry brings 30 years of environmental and administrative law practice to VLS, the nation’s top-ranked environmental law school.
“We hope the greater Vermont Law School community will join us as we welcome Tom McHenry as our president and dean and esteemed leaders in the law to discuss contemporary environmental issues that affect all of us,” said VLS Board Chair Christopher Dutton. “Tom’s leadership is marked by his commitment to environmental stewardship, locally and globally, and to strengthening and enhancing Vermont Law School programs in areas ranging from environmental law to restorative justice. His service to VLS continues a long line of exceptional leadership at the school and reflects our commitment to developing the next generation who will use the power of the law to make a difference.”
Nationally recognized environmental leaders will bring a variety of perspectives to the “Environmental Law for the Community and the World” panel discussion. Guest panelists include Gus Speth, co-founder of the New Economy Law Center, former administrator of the United Nations Development Programme, and co-founder and former senior attorney of the Natural Resources Defense Council. Speth will be joined by Roger Martella, an environmental attorney for General Electric and former general counsel for the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) during the George W. Bush administration, and Deborah Markowitz, a visiting professor of environmental policy at The University of Vermont and former secretary of the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources. VLS Associate Dean David Mears, director of the Environmental Law Center, will moderate the panel.
In addition to the ceremony and panel, VLS will honor the memory of Geoffrey Shields, the school’s seventh president and dean, with a Shields Memorial Dedication at 11:30 a.m. in the Outdoor Classroom on the VLS campus.
