DEAN QUEENAN, PROFESSORS BREGER AND SUNDQUIST HONORED AT COMMENCEMENT Albany Law School recognized three members of the faculty for excellence in the categories of teaching, service, and scholarship. The awards were announced at the law school’s 165th Commencement Ceremony in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Professor Melissa Breger received the Faculty Award for Excellence in Teaching after an outpouring of support from the graduating Class of 2016. Professor Breger was praised for going the extra mile in and out of the classroom, presenting legal principles with notable clarity, and showing a true interest in the welfare and futures of her students. Professor Breger has been teaching at Albany Law School since 2002. Associate Dean Rosemary Queenan received the Faculty Award for Excellence in Service for her dedication to students, colleagues, and the community. Dean Queenan, in addition to contributing significantly to the success of the student body, volunteered to teach additional courses this past year, and took on a leadership role in the school community in several areas. Professor Christian Sundquist received the Faculty Award for Excellence in Scholarship, in part for helping place issues of racial and economic inequality in an important light through his visions of social justice. As Director of Faculty Research and Scholarship, Professor Sundquist has supported his faculty colleagues in their efforts to engage in their own scholarship.
