March 8, 2018

On Tuesday, March 6, 2018, more than 80 students were honored with scholarships as part of the 2018 Scholarships and Awards Program.

“Through the generosity of AUWCL friends and donors, this year we were able to award more than $400,000 in named scholarships to exceptional students,” said Dean Camille Nelson. “These scholarships enable our students – who amaze and inspire me every day - to continue their legal education, pursue their dreams, and make a meaningful impact in the legal community. Congratulations to all the scholarship recipients!”

Associate Dean for Student Affairs David Jaffe gave welcome remarks and Professor Brenda V. Smith addressed the crowd of more than 120 students, alumni, and friends before presenting the awards.

AUWCL would like to thank the 2018 Scholarship Committee for their work: Ryan Bien, director of Financial Aid (chair); Associate Dean Jaffe; Professors Amanda Leiter and Jeffrey Lubbers; Lisa Curtis, associate director of the Marshall-Brennan Constitutional Literacy Project; Randall Sawyer, assistant dean of external relations; and Michael Scher, assistant director of business operations, Office of Finance and Administration.
