Ammons wields much influence at the law school – but that influence has seeped into the fabric of the First State, says a leading magazine.Delaware Today magazine has included the dean among its “14 People of Influence: Delawareans who shape the way we live.” The article is the cover story of its September issue that just arrived on newsstands.“There’s a new generation of movers and shakers emerging who are shaping policies and making things happen,” the article by Assistant Editor Matt Amis begins.
