Law school deans to speak at WLAM Foundation reception “Toasting Education of Dynamic Women”
The Women Lawyers Association of Michigan (WLAM) Foundation has announced that this year’s reception will feature a “TED” Talk with Deans Jocelyn Benson (Wayne State University Law School); Phyllis L. Crocker (University of Detroit Mercy School of Law); and Joan W. Howarth (Michigan State University College of Law). The reception is also the occasion to introduce the ten 2015 Outstanding Women Law Students chosen to receive a total of $30,000 in scholarships supporting their law school education. Awardees were selected on the basis of demonstrated leadership on women’s issues, through a competitive process.
2015 marks the WLAM Foundation’s 19th year of making awards to deserving women law students. In that time, 225 awardees have received a total of $530,000 in financial support.
The Awards Reception takes place at the Great Lakes Culinary Center, 24101 West Nine Mile Rd., Southfield, on March 25 from 5:30-7:30, at a suggested donation of $30 per attendee. There will also be the opportunity to network with other lawyers and donors. Please register for the event by March 20: contact Barb at 248-740-7003 to charge by phone, or charge online at www.wlamfoundation.org.
The WLAM Foundation’s web site also offers opportunities to support the scholarship fund as a member of the Dean’s List, supporters at levels above $150. Virtually all donations go directly to scholarships, and they are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
