Law alumnus protects precious natural resource
By 2025 up to 40% of the world will live in water-scarce regions. For The University of Tulsa alumnus Kevin Patrick, water is not only a natural resource, but also his job. Patrick, who received his undergraduate degree from Virginia Tech before attending law school at UTulsa, has been involved in many water-related cases in his 40 years of service – everything from the integration between groundwater and surface water to trying to maximize the utility of the resource.
At The University of Tulsa, I learned from internationally acclaimed and experienced professors who were unpretentious, dedicated, and energetic...I formed mentorship relationships that continue to this day, was challenged to approach a variety of topics with curiosity and persistence, and benefitted from broad opportunities in an intimate setting.
