Paralegal Program honors first Fall
Day class
Kevin Maher ’04
 The
Paralegal Education Program celebrated the achievements of its newest
class at the 2002 Fall Day Graduation Dinner on Feb. 13 at the Radnor
Hotel,. Faculty, staff, family and friends were all on hand to honor the
graduates.
Opening the reception, Dr. Samuel A. DiLullo,
coordinator of the Paralegal Education Program, explained that the special
significance of this class was that it featured the first graduates of
the newly offered fall day program. He described the program as being
very comprehensive and well respected.
Donna J. Mouzayck, advisory board member
and first deputy city solicitor, City of Philadelphia, delivered an inspiring
address to those in attendance. Officially welcoming the graduates to
the law community she emphasized, “Your work will impact justice.”
Describing paralegal professionals as being part of a rapidly growing
field, she explained the demand for professionals capable of ethically
performing many of the same actions as lawyers. Through mention of the
Law of Foreseeability, she urged the class to look beyond the routine,
understand the law and take initiative, adding, “You must define
what your role will be.”
Gary H. Bonas, Jr., director of Continuing
Studies, joined DiLullo in the presentation of awards and certificates
to the graduates. Anne Burdsall, Yetnayet (Mimi) Lemma, Lynn Noesner,
