Cooley Law student receives Tax Student Achievement Award
Cooley Law School student Aaron Cook received the State Bar of Michigan (SBM) Taxation Section Tax Student Achievement Award at the section’s Annual Conference May 22. Cook was nominated by Marjorie Gell, Cooley tax professor/vice chair of the SBM Taxation Section, and recognized for his excellence in the study of tax law while at Cooley’s Grand Rapids campus. He has volunteered for Cooley’s Volunteer Tax Assistance (VITA) program, which offers free tax help to low income individuals, persons with disabilities, and the elderly who need tax return preparation assistance.
“In addition to being an excellent Cooley student with a keen interest in tax, Aaron is an IRS-certified volunteer [with] a strong commitment to... the [VITA] program,” said Gell. “His service demonstrates a true dedication to Cooley’s mission of giving back to the community.”
