UC College Of Law Sends Off Class Of '04 On Saturday
The UC College of Law will bid farewell to the Class of 2004, when the college holds its 171st annual Hooding Ceremony on Saturday, May 15 at 1 p.m. at the Aronoff Center in downtown Cincinnati. Approximately 100 students are expected to participate.
The ceremony will be presided over by UC College of Law Dean Joseph Tomain, with new UC president Nancy L. Zimpher also in attendance. Ralph Ferrara, the former General Counsel for the Securities and Exchange Commission and a 1970 graduate of the UC College of Law, is the speaker at this year's ceremony. H. Louis Sirkin, a 1965 graduate of the college and now a Cincinnati attorney, will receive the Nicholas Longworth Award, presented by the graduating class to an alumnus they admire.
College of Law professors Kristin Brandser, Verna Williams and Ingrid Brunk Wuerth have been selected by the graduates to award the hoods. Professors Mark Godsey, Verna Williams and Ingrid Brunk Wuerth will also be recognized as this year's winners of the Goldman Prize for excellence in teaching.
The UC College of Law will also be celebrating good news from earlier this month, when it was learned that UC led all other Ohio schools in percentage of its graduates who passed the February Ohio Bar exam.
