Sandra
P. Zemm Labor Law Prize
Sandra Zemm was a partner in the Labor and Employment
Department at Seyfarth Shaw's Chicago office; she passed
away in September 2008 after a long battle with cancer.
Seyfarth Shaw and Ms. Zemm's family, friends, and colleagues
have raised money to fund an annual prize in her honor.
The Sandra P. Zemm Prize in Labor and Employment Law
will be awarded annually to a third or fourth year student
in the Labor/Employment Law Certificate Program at Chicago-Kent
who has demonstrated the qualities that made Sandy so
special:
A commitment to pursue a career in labor and employment
law, a pioneer spirit and willingness to take the initiative,
and a gracious and generous attitude toward helping
those in need.
The Prize this year is $1,000. If you know someone in
the Certificate Program whom you think embodies the characteristics
for which Ms. Zemm is remembered, please consider nominating
that person for the Zemm Prize.
To nominate a student, please send an e-mail naming the
student, with a paragraph or so describing the reasons
you think the student deserves the Zemm Prize. Please
feel free to nominate yourself also.
Deadline for nominations by students: Friday, March 25,
2011
Send nominations to Ms. Alice
Curry: acurry@kentlaw.edu
We hope to announce the recipient of the Prize by Friday,
April 15.
