University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law has secured $1 million from an alumnus, Joel Fedder, for two initiatives in the school’s environmental law program.
The donation will provide additional funding for the Fedder Scholars Program, which provides scholarship support for UM Carey Law students to participate in the International Union for Conservation of Nature Colloquium, which is held in a different country each year.
The Fedder endowment also funds the Fedder Environmental Law Lecture and Dinner, which brings together an outside scholar to the law school to discuss prominent environmental issues.
“The Fedder gift will have a lasting impact on the Environmental Law Program because it will directly enhance students’ academic experience and the development of their scholarship,” said UM Carey Law Dean Donald B. Tobin, who started his tenure July 1.
