Western New England University issued the following announcement.
After 40 years, Professor Bruce Miller is retiring from the Western New England University School of Law. To honor Miller and his tireless dedication to students and to the rule of law, the School of Law is hosting a retirement celebration on Tuesday, April 3. Alumni, faculty, staff, family, and friends of Bruce Miller are invited to attend the event, being held at the Log Cabin in Holyoke, MA. The reception begins at 6:00 p.m. with a formal program to begin at 7:00 p.m.
"Bruce's lifelong commitment to public interest work has inspired social justice-minded students for decades," said Lauren Carasik, Western New England University Center for Social Justice's inaugural director.
For more than 50 years, Miller has dedicated his life to social justice — promoting legal work across the country. As he prepares to retire, the School of Law is launching the Professor Bruce Miller Social Justice Fellowship in his honor. As a part of the School of Law's Center for Social Justice, the Fellowship will be awarded annually to a J.D. student who is committed to doing social justice-promoting legal work over a summer prior to the student's graduation. The award is intended to provide financial aid to a student doing work that aligns the School of Law's commitment to social justice.
"The Miller Social Justice Fellowship honors Bruce's admirable legacy by providing funding for students to engage in public interest work during the summer months that advances the Center's social justice mission," said Carasik.
This event is supported by The Law Firm of Sasson, Turnbull, Ryan, and Hoose; the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts; and the WNE School of Law Alumni Association. Advanced registration is required. Tickets to attend are $25.00. To register for this event visit https://brucemiller.eventbrite.com/.
