Professors of the Year
On Friday, February 9, College of Law students and faculty gathered at the Talon Room for the Student Bar Association’s annual Meeting of the Minds. Each year the event serves as an opportunity for students to recognize faculty with the Outstanding 1L Professor and Outstanding Upperclass Professor awards.
