LEADING AMERICA’S BUSINESSES FROM THE DEAN In this issue of The Transcript, we celebrate the character and accomplishments of the two most important groups of people in our law school community: our current students and the former students who are now alumni and alumnae. In an article written by third-year law student Scott Neinas, we celebrate some of the many ways in which our students serve the community. They are truly engaged. Through our clinics, externships and our new Public Service Commendation Program, they learn about the difference a lawyer can make in a person’s life, develop valuable practice skills, and reach an understanding of society’s issues that will serve them well as lawyers and the leaders of the future. Through their fundraising efforts, clothing drives and volunteer homebuilding, they demonstrate a level of commitment and character which will make us proud to claim them as graduates of our law school. Our alumni and alumnae are making a difference across the country and around the world. They serve in Congress, on the federal bench, on state supreme courts, as judges at all levels, in public service and legal aid, and in private practice where their commitment to clients helps make people’s lives better. In this issue, we feature a few of the many who have risen to leadership positions in business and education. In these roles, they translate society’s needs as expressed in the law into practical applications that help their clients create value in the marketplace. Their work helps maintain the continued employment of tens of thousands of people and they play vital roles in helping our economy stay strong. Very few lawyers have the opportunity to serve at these levels and their selection is a tribute to their legal expertise, their leadership skills and their personal character. Despite their YLZWVUZPIPSP[PLZHUK^VYRSVHKZ[OL`HSZVÄUK[PTL[VILLUNHNLKJP[PaLUZ>LJVUNYH[\SH[L them on their success and look forward to the doors they can open for those who follow.

    Difference Makers Rick Hansen Canadian born Rick Hansen is best known for completing an epic journey called the Man In Motion World Tour in 1987. But Rick wasn’t always the “Man in Motion,” and the Tour wasn’t his first difficult journey. Rick grew up in Northern British Columbia, living an active child- hood – fishing, camping and playing ball. His first “big dream” was to represent Canada at the Olympics. But at age 15, hitchhiking home after a weeklong fishing trip, Rick accepted a ride in the bed of a pickup truck. Some time later, the truck skidded off a winding road and he was thrown from the vehicle...Rick would never walk again. But a shattered spine is not a shattered spirit, and for Rick Hansen, it was the beginning of an inspiring story. After seven months in recovery and rehab, and with the support of family, friends, and mentors who inspired him, Rick returned home determined to make his life matter. What he didn’t know then was that he was embarking on a life-long inspirational journey that would spark a sea of change in public attitudes around the world toward people with disabilities, and make a difference in the lives of others. Rick became a world class athlete winning nineteen international wheelchair marathons, nine gold medals at the 1982 Pan Ameri- can Wheelchair Games, and six Paralympics medals between 1980 and 1984. In 1985, inspired by the belief that “anything is possible,” Rick set out to change the world by wheeling around the globe to raise awareness of the potential of people with disabilities.
