Alumni Gift Establishes Summer Fellowship with Anti-Defamation League
New Scholarship Created by Levin College of Law Alumnus
A new summer fellowship has been established with a generous gift made by Evan Yegelwel (JD 80). Coordinated through the Center for the Study of Race and Race Relations, the Summer 2008 Yegelwel Fellowship provides a $4,000 stipend to a UF Law student to participate in a summer fellowship program at the Anti-Defamation League, Florida Regional Office in Boca Raton.
Following an intensive applicant selection process, Jana Wasserman (3L) was chosen by David Rosenkranz of the Anti-Defamation League Southern Area Counsel to receive the fellowship. Wasserman’s fellowship will last eight weeks, and she will work a minimum of 35 hours per week. As part of her fellowship, Wasserman will conduct research on hate crimes, housing discrimination, education, bullying, and other bias-related topics.
The Yegelwel Fellowship is limited to UF Law students who have completed the first-year required curriculum and Constitutional Law prior to the fellowship summer and who at the time of application are in good academic standing. Yegelwel is a partner in the Jacksonville law firm of Brown, Terrell, Hogan, Ellis, McClamma, & Yegelwel.
