USM Foundation Board Member Joe Hardiman Receives Distinguished Graduate Award
A sellout crowd of 200 gathered at the Center Club on May 7 for, “A Celebration of Leadership,” a University of Maryland School of Law event to honor distinguished graduates. The event also served as the school’s official send-off for Dean Karen Rothenberg, who is returning to the faculty after a decade in office. Proceeds went to the newly established Rothenberg Fund for Public Service, which will support student scholarships, faculty research and public interest projects, the school said. This year’s Distinguished Graduate Award went to Joseph R. Hardiman, ’62, former president and chief executive officer of the National Association of Securities Dealers and the NASDAQ Stock Market. The Rising Star Award honored Juliet Choi, ’03, who is senior director of partner services at the American Red Cross.
