“When you look at the accomplishments of the students in this room, it is clear Widener is on the move,” said President Harris to those assembled to honor outstanding students at the Delaware Student Awards Ceremony. The ceremony began with a welcome from acting Dean of Students Patrick Johnston. He introduced Dean Linda Ammons, who noted in her remarks that &quot;Academic excellence is at the core of this institution,&quot; before turning the program back over to Dean Johnston.Dean Ammons presented the Dean’s award, which is given to a student who demonstrated outstanding legal aptitude, exemplary service, significant leadership skills, and the potential to become an outstanding member of the legal community, to Gabriela N. Arce de Smith. A graduate of California State University-Bakersfield, Gabriela came to Widener Law in 2005 after working in Camden, NJ, as a Manager for Platform Learning, Inc. She has been on the Dean’s List every semester, served as Vice President of the Association of Latin American and Hispanic Students for two years, served on the senior staff of the Delaware Journal of Corporate Law, and volunteered as the student coordinator of the Pro Bono Partnership Program for the Public Interest Research Center this past year.President Harris gave the President’s Award to Bonnie E. Copeland. The President’s Award is presented to a student entering his or her final year of law school who in the opinion of the President of Widener University possesses high potential for meaningful contributions to the law school, the community, and the profession. An extended division student, Bonnie has achieved Dean’s Honors each semester since beginning law school and is a member of the Moe Levine Trial Advocacy Honor Society. A mother of two, she has volunteered her time to organizations such as the Board of Girls, Inc., of Delaware and the Fund for Women, and has held various managerial positions in Delaware State Senate and Representative races over the past six years.See a complete listing of the awards below.Award RecipientsFellowshipsThe Chadwick Constitutional Education Fellowship: Megan F.
