Award Description: Janet Mary Riley was the first full-time female law professor in New Orleans and seventh in the nation. Kathryn Lorio, College of Law professor and close friend and student of Riley's, says, "In her quiet, humble and unassuming
way, this lady managed to promote the interests of women significantly, both as a role model, and as a proponent of legislation providing equal protection."
The purpose of this award is to recognize a student who has demonstrated outstanding leadership on issues central to women on campus and in the greater community through programming, research, student organization leadership,
or other academic efforts.
