The Summer for Undergraduates Program receives most of its funding through a donation from Wayne Hogan, a very successful attorney in Jacksonville and an alumnus of the College of Law. Mr. Hogan is a also a mentor of Attorney Benjamin Crump. Mr. Crump is a founding partner of Parks & Crump, LLC, one of the most successful personal injury firms in Florida.
On Friday, we held a lunch in honor of Mr. Hogan in the rotunda of the law school. During the lunch, Mr. Crump spoke about the influence of Mr. Hogan on himself and on the practice of law in the state of Florida.
Mr. Crump then presented the law school with a generous gift- a donation in the amount of $20,000 for the Summer for Undergraduates Program. Mr. Crump made the donation in honor of Mr. Hogan.
It was a tremendous gesture, and one audibly appreciated by the students in the program. The program has changed the lives of many students over the years, and opened worlds of new opportunities and ideas to them.
Also, I wish to note here that Mr. Crump is in contention for Advocate of the Year at the Nation's Best Advocate Awards Gala. The award goes to an attorney who excels in achievement, innovation, vision, leadership and legal community involvement.
