The scholarship is in honor of Andrea Swanner Redding, class of 1986, who died in 1996. At the time of her death she was the assistant dean for career services at the law school. Her professional affiliations included active membership and involvement in Oregon Women Lawyers, the National Association for Law Placement, the Oregon State Bar Association and the Multnomah Bar Association. During her tenure in career services, she transformed the office, adding dozens of new programs and services and involved more alumni than ever before. She was described by many as “tireless,” and her contribution to the law school was significant.
