As the academic year winds down, the 2018 Columbus Award Night continued the longstanding spring tradition of honoring CUA Law students, faculty, and staff for their service to the law school community. The evening featured class skits, both live and recorded. Awards for Pro Bono service, professional excellence, and service to the law school were awarded to students, faculty and staff.
The April 20th evening event was smoothly guided by Co-Master of Ceremonies Marcos Holguin (3L and Student Bar Association Vice President of Academic Affairs) and Ray Magorien (3L and SBA Director of Communications).
For the first time, the evening students took part in the skit competition. For their Office Space spoof, they earned the Joan Vorrasi award for Best Skit. The 3Ls did a play off The Office, the 2Ls had a stand up routine, and the 1Ls showed off their musical talents.
The 2018 Columbus Award Night categories and winners are listed below. To view other photos from the evening's festivities click here.
