On Thursday, July 13, WMU-Cooley Law School's Auburn Hills campus held its Honors Convocation recognizing students for top course grades, Dean's List, Honor Roll, and leadership and skills competition achievements.
The recipients of the Leadership Achievement Award were Eric Langton and Erika Morgan. The award acknowledges students who have consistently, comprehensively and effectively provided leadership in a variety of capacities.
During the event, WMU-Cooley Associate Professor Frank Aiello was presented the Distinguished Faculty Award, an award which was voted on by the law school’s students.
Aiello, who presented the evening’s keynote, spoke to students, staff and faculty about what he has learned over the years, and reflected on the intersection of his personal and work life. He offered what he referred to as “quasi-wisdom,” encouraging students to be kind, speak less, listen more and utilize their strengths.
“Having now taught here for almost 12 years, I have the pleasure of observing many incredible WMU-Cooley alumni who are doing amazing things — lead counsel to the police and fire unions in the Detroit bankruptcy, representing famous Detroit musical artists, working on behalf of the disadvantaged at legal aid organizations, incredible prosecutors and defense attorneys and wildly successful civil litigators,” Aiello said.
“I am humbled by the accomplishments of my former students and can’t wait to see what you do.”
