From Hot Dogs to Top Dogs

Two alums, Teresa M. Schwartz, JD ’71, and Daniel C. Schwartz, JD ’69, have pledged to create a need-based scholarship for a JD student at GW Law. Both were enrolled in the law school during the 1968-69 academic year, and finances were tight—they fondly recall it as the “the year of the hot dog.” Teresa, taught on the GW Law faculty for 25 years, and Dan, who served in a number of prestigious government positions, never forgot the impact of the scholarships they received while attending law school. “I owe a great deal to GW,” Teresa said. “I was a scholarship student in my first year of law school, and I know what it means to have that kind of support.”
