5th Annual

Outstanding Women in Law Awards and Garden Party

Welcome

to our fifth annual Outstanding Women in Law reception.

Tonight’s honorees truly are outstanding. They are advocates for the underrepresented, they are leaders in the workplace and in the community, and they are role models for young women aspiring to join the legal profession. We are proud to honor such a diverse and accomplished group of women.

On behalf of Hofstra University and the Maurice A. Deane School of Law, congratulations on receiving this honor and thank you for joining us.

I also want to thank our many sponsors for this evening’s event. Your support allows Hofstra Law and our Center for Children, Families and the Law to continue to prepare our students to become future outstanding lawyers.

Your participation is invaluable. Once again, I want to thank all of our honorees, sponsors and guests.

Judge Gail Prudenti, Dean
