Dean Schenck Wins GW Award for Student Group Support

The George Washington University presented Lisa Schenck, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, with its Robert A. Chernak Spark a Life Award for GW University Staff Member of the Year. The award is granted annually to a staff member who has significantly impacted the holistic development of a student or student organization, thus causing a "spark" of inspiration. The Military Law Society members nominated Dean Schenck for her extensive support of their activities. "She serves as a mentor, career advisor, moot court coach, organizer of networking and substantive events, listener, and, most important, an advocate for MLS members," the students wrote. "I was flattered to be nominated," Dean Schenck said. "I'm honored to be able to support the students in all of their activities."
