The DR Board had an outstanding weekend, earning top honors at two national competitions!

At the inaugural Illinois National Client Counseling & Advising Competition, both Stetson teams—Daniel Smith & Samantha Scaletta and Allayna Rajkumar & Noor Algoul—advanced to the quarterfinals. Allayna and Noor continued to the semifinals and ultimately won the entire competition! Noor was also named Best Counselor Overall. These first-time competitors were coached by the amazing Professor Emily Bollman. (L–R: Professor Bollman, Sam, Noor, Allayna, Daniel).

Stetson also sent three talented teams to Thomas Jefferson School of Law’s National Sports Law Negotiation Competition: Trevor Maxwell & Nick Colicci, Brooke Fopeano & Scott Miller, and Victoria Garcia & Curtis Abele. Two teams—Trevor & Nick and Victoria & Curtis—advanced to the finals, with Victoria and Curtis placing second in what judges called the closest score in competition history! Here’s a great photo of them (L–R: Trevor, Curtis, Scott, Brooke, Victoria, Nick). These students were coached by two fantastic DR alumnae: Kylie Weaver and Carlton Robinson.

Please join us in congratulating all of our competitors and coaches on an incredible weekend of achievement!
