Three Cooley Law School students were named as recipients of scholarships from the Women Lawyers Association of Michigan (WLAM) Foundation. Cooley Law School students who were each presented $3,500 scholarships on May 31 included Codie Drake, a Jean Ledwith King Scholar sponsored by the members of the Women Lawyers Association of Michigan; Samantha Hulliberger, who is a Dobrusin Law Firm Scholar sponsored by The Dobrusin Law Firm; and Sukayana Almusawi, a Masco Corporation Scholar, sponsored by Masco Corporation.

The foundation selects the recipients based on their endeavors to advance women’s roles in essential areas of the law, including STEM, social justice, equality, child advocacy, and domestic violence. The WLAM Foundation has awarded over $824,500 to more than 307 law students since 1997.

“It is an honor for our students to be leaders in advancing women’s roles in law,” said Karen Poole, Cooley Law School’s director of career and professional development. “I cannot think of any better candidates than Codie, Samantha, and Sukayana. They continually share their enthusiasm for social causes through their involvement outside the classroom.”
