UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI SCHOOL OF LAW — First-year law student Asha Wedemeier-Allen has accumulated more accolades than one can count. The Dean’s Merit Scholarship recipient is characteristically driven and forward-looking, facing the notoriously immense pressures of law school with impressive optimism and unwavering self-assurance. She graduated from the University of Miami last year with a Bachelor of Arts in political science and a minor in business law. She was also a Ronald A. Hammond Scholarship recipient and involved in a diverse set of activities, including the Inspire U Mentorship Program, the University Disciplinary Hearing Panel, the University of Miami Voter Registration Ambassadorship, First-Generation U, and the Caribbean Students Association. “I’ve always known I wanted to attend Miami Law,” she said. “I got acquainted with different aspects of the law through law firm internships in the summers. Being awarded the Dean’s Merit Scholarship has given me the comfortability to navigate law school without the financial burden.”
