Officer DeVaughn Fowler with Dean Stephen Payne

On November 25, the Catholic Law community gathered in the building's atrium to celebrate the lighting of the Christmas tree. The event began with a prayer and blessing by Rev. Hugh Vincent Dyer, O.P., followed by a warm welcome from Dean Stephen Payne. This year's ceremony also honored Officer DeVaughn Fowler for her 20 years of dedicated service to the Catholic Law community. Officer Fowler's kindness and support have left a lasting impact on the students, faculty, and staff she has connected with over the years.

Officer Fowler was invited to the podium to light the Christmas tree and receive a plaque of recognition from Dean Payne. After the tree lighting, attendees enjoyed a reception complete with a hot chocolate bar and Christmas cookies.
