3L Emily Franco Recognized for Service and Leadership
Emily Franco, 3L, has received the President’s Student Leadership and Service Award for her role in establishing a food pantry in Mondale Hall in order to serve the needs of Minnesota Law’s student community.
Mondale Kitchen was designed to provide time-pressed law students with 24/7 access to shelf-stable nonperishables, single-serving ready-to-eat foods, and fresh produce. The goal is to ensure all students have the nutritious food they need to advance their academic, professional, and social success.
Franco reported that Mondale Kitchen was used on average of a 1,000 times per month since it opened. She hopes that this will have a lasting impact on the Law School and its students.
In a message to the University community, President Joan T.A. Gabel described this award as “honoring outstanding students for their invaluable leadership and service to the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and the community.”
