Mary Snapp, ’84
When the Law School launched its campaign more than five years ago, Mary Snapp, ’84, stepped up with both time and resources. She made a major gift to the building project, in addition to a Law School Fund commitment, and she served on the Campaign Steering Committee.
As the Law School continues to fundraise for the building project, Snapp, of Seattle, has expanded upon her commitment with an additional gift of $500,000, bringing her giving total for the project to $750,000.
“I am delighted to provide support for Michigan Law’s beautiful new academic building and Law School Commons,” says Snapp. “I know that these new facilities are an important factor in the quality of education for students and professors, and I’m excited to see what the expansion will make possible for Michigan Law’s learning community.”
She has generously served the Law School in other significant ways, including speaking at several campus programs and hosting events, most recently a reception at her home in June to introduce the building plans to Seattle-area alumni.
Snapp is Corporate Vice President and Deputy General Counsel of the Online Services & Advanced Technologies practice group in Microsoft’s Law and Corporate Affairs department. She joined Microsoft in 1988 as an attorney in the Law and Corporate Affairs department. Previously she was an attorney with the Seattle law firm now known as K & L Gates. Snapp is a frequent speaker at both public and internal forums on legal issues related to intellectual property and diversity.
