- Distinguished participation in student or Mitchell Hamline sponsored organizations beyond prescribed and/or compensated duties or academic credit;
- Active contribution to the success and promotion of college-sponsored social and academic events;
- Decidedly above-average community involvement through professional and/or personal associations beyond prescribed and/or compensated duties or academic credit; and
- Individual dedication and perseverance in completing law school.
- Strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Finalists will be interviewed by the Alumni Board’s nomination committee. In reviewing nominations, the committee will consider the above criteria in the light of Mitchell Hamline’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Candidates will be notified of their nomination and asked to provide supporting information, including a resume containing their GPA and a one-page summary of their background and experience. Please note that finalists’ transcripts will be reviewed during the selection process.
