Proud to have received two awards over the past 25 years. One in 2000 and one recently this year.  This represents the last 1/2 of my teaching career in Virginia. The first award was the “Distinguished Faculty Member of the Year Award“(2000) and the second for public service to the Commonwealth of Virginia (2024) for membership on two state boards as a gubernatorial appointee concerning trade and economic development. This award was a unanimous and bipartisan joint resolution of the Virginia General Assembly. Glad to have been a part of the George Mason community (law school and public policy) over the years and a gubernatorial appointee by Virginia governors Kaine, McAuliffe, McDonnell and Northam (and as a delegate on trade missions with Warner).
