Emmett Boney Haywood '82 and Mary Boney Denison '81 Help Reduce Student Debt for Future Tar Heel Lawyers

Leading By Example

Devoted alumni, spanning generations—from Elizabeth “Betty” Quick '74 to Dean Martin H. Brinkley '92 to Meghan ’09 and Luis Lluberas '08—drive impact through consistent annual support of the law school that laid the foundations for their successes. The spirit of leadership through sustained giving permeates the Carolina Law community.  Engaged alumni actively uphold the school's legacy of excellence through annual contributions. Their gifts empower rising generations of students while enriching their own lifelong connections to this influential community.

It’s All in the Name

For Christopher Lam ’02 and Anne Dunton Lam ’02, giving back by establishing a named scholarship fund for current UNC School of Law students was an easy decision. Having directly benefited from scholarship support as newlyweds adjusting to the demands of law school, the couple felt compelled to empower students in the same way. “Having received scholarship aid during our own pivotal Carolina Law experience, we wanted to pay that support forward to today’s deserving students,” they explained.

An Unusual Judicial Order

The Donald L. Smith/Manila G. Shaver Scholarship that UNC School of Law 2L Maria Romero Perdomo received as a 1L gave her more than partial tuition assistance. The award also offered something priceless: the freedom to explore multiple fields of law for her future career.
