Jim Fahey Safe Homes for Women Awards

On April 17, 2018, 6 students received the Jim Fahey Safe Homes for Women award, including a check for $900 each. This award is given annually by Nancy K. D. Lemon, Lecturer in Domestic Violence Law. The Jim Fahey Safe Homes Fund for Women endowment was established in 2007 to provide scholarships for graduate students at UC Berkeley with demonstrated financial need and a strong aptitude in relevant subjects as well as a deep commitment to combating domestic violence against women. Awards have been made each spring since 2011. This year the award went to an equal number of students graduating in law and social welfare.
