Shout out to Megan Pham for being essential to the success of the ADP program recruiting and marketing teams. As a student worker with a lot her plate outside of the law school, Megan still always brings her A-game to her work and handles every project with grace, efficiency, supreme effectiveness and a positive attitude to boot. We wouldn’t be able to support our amazing staff recruiters as effectively – and bring more amazing LLM students to Berkeley Law every year – without her. Thanks, Megan!

Yongbin did an exceptional job coordinating a very successful Mental Health Awareness and Wellness Week for the students. He came up with creative new programming and made sure the multiple events ran smoothly.

Thank you, Sara and Melanie and Sarra and Valerie – thanks for stepping up in a big way to move the First Annual PI Reception forward last night. And Sara – thanks for the idea and making it happen!

We had almost 200 rsvps and a nice showing last night – and I think students really enjoyed the moment to hang out, nibble and chat – we are at that point in the semester, that many said they needed the break and they were heartened to see so many of their colleagues/friends there. And it was great to get Dean Chemerinsky there for a few minutes to welcome folks and reiterate his support for their paths.

Marva has been SO helpful to the dean’s office (and the law school as a whole). Every time we have a question or last minute request, she finds an answer almost immediately. We’re incredibly grateful to have her here at the law school. Her help and guidance has been invaluable!!!

~Whitney Mello & Ben Hiebert

Thank you Whitney for taking up every chore no matter how odd, and always with good cheer!

I am nominating Shivani Bhatia for responding almost instantly to a mounting concern of our students paying out of pocket for pro bono project operating expenses and then seeking reimbursement. We had three major issues and she offered practical solutions to all — this is true even though these problems have plagued many departments at the law school for years.

She put our students first and for that we are so grateful.
