Volunteer Recognition

Volunteers are an essential part of any organization, but they are especially significant at Chicago-Kent where alumni and friend volunteers make an impact almost every day. From talking to students on a career advice panel and coaching a winning Trial Ad team, to performing a mock interview with a rising 3L, our volunteers are exceptional members of the Chicago-Kent community and we thank and honor them for their dedication and time.

At the 2008 Luncheon, we recognized those volunteers from the past two years. View the full list of volunteers.
