Legal Follies
The Legal Follies filled the Law Auditorium to capacity for three straight nights last month. In the final show on February 25, Joe Guarino (LAW'00) and Stephanie Hodara (LAW'00), from Switzerland, spoof the "buddy program" for the LL.M. in American law, in which attorneys from foreign countries attend LAW for a year and take courses toward a graduate degree. Guarino portrays an American trying a bit too hard to make Hodara, as a French student, feel at home. Photo by Andrea Raynor

David Lussier
Massachusetts Teacher of the Year David Lussier (SED'92) was the guest speaker at SED's Junior Pinning Ceremony February 16 at the Tsai Performance Center. Lussier, a teacher at Andover High School, is one of the youngest teachers to receive the award. "The selection is particularly noteworthy given the number of outstanding teachers who applied," says Massachusetts Education Commissioner David Driscoll. There were more than 375 applications this year. At the annual pinning ceremony, SED juniors affirm their commitment to education and accept the responsibilities of the vocation before they begin student teaching. Photo by Michael Hamilton
