The Biden Connection

Cumberland has a long history with the new vice-president, former Senator Joseph Biden. While I was a student here from 1971-1974, Vice-president Biden spoke twice - once as part of our Cordell Hull Speaker's Program and once at what was then the Law Week Banquet. What I remember most is how gracious he was. He was eager to engage the students and was happy to be here at Cumberland.

He later paid other visits to the law school and struck up friendships with some of our students that have lasted throughout the years.
