Inspiration Awards
One of the law school's signature annual events, the Inspiration Awards celebrate members of our community who demonstrate extraordinary commitment to public interest and public service.
The 2025 EPIC Inspiration Awards were held on Tuesday, February 4, 2025 and honored these public interest champions:
Unsung Devotion to Those Most in Need
Nneka Ewulonu, Staff Attorney, ACLU of Georgia
Outstanding Leadership in the Public Interest
Jennifer Stolarski, Chief Assistant District Attorney, Office of the DeKalb County District Attorney
Lifetime Commitment to Public Service
Claudia S. Saari 87L, Circuit Public Defender, DeKalb County (retired)
In addition to bringing together our community to celebrate public service, the Inspiration Awards are the primary fundraiser for EPIC's summer grants, which provide stipends for students who work in otherwise unfunded public interest positions. Although the event has passed, there is still time to honor these visionary leaders with a gift to the Emory Public Interest Committee (EPIC) here.
