incent Champion is unequivocal about the role Widener Law has played in his life and career: “I think Widener has given me tremendous value in my law degree. I’m grateful.” It should come as no surprise, then, that the Rhoads & Sinon associate chooses to give back. When Dean Linda Ammons asked him to sit on her Harrisburg Diversity Board, he accepted the invitation. In 2011, the Harrisburg campus launched its own JURIST Academy, which introduces aspiring minority law students to the skills they will need to enter law school and to the careers available to law school graduates. Mr. Champion was again on board, giving participants the value of his experience. “It was great,” he says, “I thought it was a really innovative program.” As if that weren’t enough, he lends the law school his financial support as well, contributing through a generous, automatic monthly credit card payment. He says, “Widener stands for academic achievement and innovation. As Widener continues to achieve, it increases the value of my degree.”
