Tory Dille ’26 and Shoshana Grossman, ’26 were named 2025 Wyss Scholars. Both have demonstrated exceptional dedication to environmental advocacy, public lands protection, and conservation law.
Grossman’s background is in land management. She’s interested particularly in working at the intersection of public lands, waters, and indigenous law. Dille’s multifaceted work has centered around community-based advocacy for and education about wildlife and places. Based in Montana, she has been working at Earthjustice’s Northern Rockies Office.
Funded by the Wyss Foundation, a private, charitable foundation dedicated to land conservation, the Wyss Scholars Program seeks to identify and support a new generation of leaders on the basis of their leadership potential, academic strength, and commitment to furthering land conservation. Lewis & Clark is one of only a few law schools in the country selected for this program, and has been since 2017.
