Law and also teaches The Legal and Ethical Dimension of Public Service at the
University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service. He earned his bachelor

speaks of people who are ‘difference makers’ and he encourages our students to
aspire to become difference makers,” said Bryan McKinney, dean of OBU’s
Hickingbotham School of Business. McKinney, who earned his law degree at UALR,
also serves as university counsel. “As part of this 125th
anniversary celebration, the university is seeking to invite 125 difference
makers to campus throughout the course of the academic year. As a leading voice
in legal education and a leading constitutional law scholar, Dean DiPippa is
one of those difference makers.”
The lecture serves as Ouachita’s 2011 observance
of Constitution Day, which is mandated annually for all colleges and
universities by Congress. For more information, contact Bryan McKinney at
