Scholarship donors to the
Appalachian School of Law met the recipients of their gifts during a luncheon
at Dean Lucy McGough’s home on Friday, November 1. Among the guests were Jim
and Carrie O’Donnell, who created a scholarship last year in memory of their
son, Sean (Class of 2010), who died in a car accident in June 2012. The Sean
O’Donnell Scholarship in Career Services benefits a 3L student during his or
her job search. Last year’s recipient, Katie Kennedy (Class of 2013), attended
the event and discovered she and Sean shared a common background. Katie had
learned the day before that she passed the Pennsylvania Bar, as well.
The
O’Donnells presented a gift of $5,000 for the Sean O’Donnell Scholarship, which
will be matched by Carrie’s employer, Verizon. Those gifts bring the fund to
more than $26,000, well on the way to the endowment threshold of $35,000.
