Sherin and Lodgen sponsored Northeastern University School of Law’s Denise Carty Bennia Memorial Bar Award Ceremony and Reception on May 25th.

The Denise Carty-Bennia Memorial Bar Award is an endowment for bar-related expenses, which is presented to four third-year students of color who have submitted the best essays on a topic selected by the NUSL Alumni Associate Board of Directors Alumni/ae of Color Committee.

Professor Denise Carty-Bennia was a highly successful attorney and tireless educator, advisor, mentor, and friend to countless Northeastern law students. She was dedicated to the pursuit of academic excellence and the expansion of opportunities for people of color. Professor Carty-Bennia’s untimely death in 1990 created a void for many who knew her and her work.
