Greenberg Traurig, LLP issued the following announcement on Apr. 1.
Mary-Olga Lovett, Senior Vice President of global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP, has joined the Board of Directors of South Texas College of Law (STCL) Houston.
An alumnus of STCL Houston, Lovett (class of ’93) is one of five new board members.

“Since my very first day as a law student, South Texas has held a dear place in my heart,” Lovett said. “I am honored to be joining the board of directors for Houston’s oldest law school and am devoted to working for the good of its students, alumnae, and faculty. Our school’s longstanding record of academic excellence, commitment to diversity, and its nationally-dominant reputation in trial and appellate advocacy are all tremendous points of pride for the Houston community, and for me personally.”
The STCL Houston website notes that the college provides a diverse body of students with the opportunity to obtain an exceptional legal education, preparing graduates to serve their community and the profession with distinction.
