Natosha Cuyler-Sherman, a first-year student at The John Marshall Law School, is the first recipient of the David R. Sargis Memorial Scholarship. This newly established $20,000 scholarship is given to a select student as a reward for hard work and accomplishment, and to give an opportunity to that student who might otherwise be unable to attend law school, according to Assistant Dean William K. Beach, chief development officer at John Marshall. A strong academic record will enable Cuyler-Sherman to have the scholarship renewed for her second- and third-years. Cuyler-Sherman, a 2002 graduate of Xavier University, earned a bachelor's degree in political science. She was a University Scholar, the Weninger Scholar, and the Antonio Johnson Scholar at Xavier. She served as a Student Government Association Senator from 1998 through 2001, and was elected the SGA Legislative Vice President for 2001-2002. Cuyler-Sherman also was the 2001 homecoming queen. Cuyler-Sherman volunteered at soup kitchens and has tutored children. She served as |
an office assistant to Cincinnati Mayor Charles Luken in spring 2001, and was the Season Good Foundation summer 2001 intern working for the Cincinnati Department of Neighborhood Services and the Department of City Planning. Florence Miner, of California, established the Sargis Memorial Scholarship in memory of her cousin, David Sargis, a 1978 graduate of John Marshall. Sargis practiced labor law for 18 years before his untimely death in 1995. Miner chose to memorialize her cousin as a living tribute to his integrity and concern for others. Miner at one time thought about earning a law degree. However, she put off completing a college degree for full-time employment. She and a sister went to work to help finance her brother's college tuition. Miner worked for 38 years for Motorola, Inc. She returned to college after her career, and completed a bachelor's degree in 1983. In presenting the scholarship, Miner said, "I believe that law is the basis of our society. We need good lawyers in these times." |
