Financial gifts help fund student success


George Ong 97L has made a gift to establish an endowed scholarship that will support students who decided to transition from a long-term career in order to attend Emory Law. George was himself a second-career law student, attending Emory Law after a nearly fifteen-year career in accounting and finance in the information technology business. He currently serves as Director and Associate General Counsel for Citigroup where he has combined his business experience and legal knowledge to support Citi’s markets and investor services businesses, and operations and technology functions. George is a bibliophile and travels extensively to tour libraries and expand his knowledge of rare books, particularly his collection of antiquarian bibliographies.

Lee P. Miller 82L and Dr. Leslie Freedman made a commitment to establish an endowed scholarship at Emory Law and further support the Lee Miller Endowed Scholarship at Emory College. Miller is regional director of Glenmede’s New York office. She also serves as a senior relationship manager and works with multi-generational families on wealth planning, family wealth education, and complex trusts. She currently serves as a member of the Emory University Board of Trustees and member emeritus of the Emory Law Advisory Board. Dr. Freedman, a City University of New York graduate, is a clinical psychologist and family mediator who works with adults, couples and families in Stamford, Connecticut, and New York City.

Judge Ruth Rocker McMullin 00L and Vaughn McMullin have made a commitment to support a newly established Black Law Students Association (BLSA) Alumni scholarship. The endowed scholarship will support 1L students who demonstrate leadership and devotion to the law school, and will continue the organization’s legacy of support and excellence. Fellow BLSA Alumni are encouraged to make additional contributions to support this initiative. Judge McMullin has been active with the law school since graduating in 2000. She knows firsthand the stress of heavy student loan debt coupled with a new law career. One of her passions has been the recruitment and retention of minority students. As part of an ongoing effort to encourage more minority students to attend Emory Law, she hopes to help the school recognize the financial needs and concerns of our prospective students and look to provide more assistance.
