The George P. Williams III Memorial Award was established by the law firm of Schnader, Harrison, Segal & Lewis, the partners, associates and friends of the late George P. Williams III. Mr. Williams was a distinguished alumnus, class of 1944, who taught for 15 years at the School of Law. The award will be used to purchase books, in the name of Mr. Williams and the recipients, for the Law School library.
The reception before the Delivery of Degrees ceremony was made possible, in part, through the generosity of the Temple University Alumni Association.
