The National Contract Management Association (NCMA) D.C. Chapter awarded three GW alumni its Outstanding Academic Achievement Awards. Greta Iliev, JD '16, received an award for third place and Matthew Michaels, JD '16, took second place. The first prize winner, Ilana Jolson, graduated this year with a Masters of Science in Government Contracts, a degree that combines courses in the law school and business school.
The Washington, D.C. Chapter of NCMA is one of the oldest and largest in the country. Its awards recognized the students for outstanding academic achievement in a degree or certificate program directly related to the field of acquisition. In addition to law, candidates could have studied business administration, business finance, accounting, contracts, purchasing, logistics, economics, industrial management, marketing, quantitative methods, organization and management, and international trade.
"Obviously, we're proud of our students, and we're grateful to NCMA for supporting education in the field of government contracts generally, and of course, we're ecstatic to see our excellent students recognized by NCMA's D.C. Chapter," said Steven L. Schooner, Nash & Cibinic Professor of Government Procurement Law. "We're particularly pleased to see NCMA recognize the achievements of students from both our law and business programs."
