2020 Metcalf Cup and Prize Conferred on LAW’s Sarah Sherman-Stokes
Sarah Sherman-Stokes teaches students how to be immigration lawyers by being immigration lawyers. They represent immigrants in court under her supervision. They visit detained clients in jail. Sherman-Stokes’ teaching—and action—has helped win national recognition for BU’s immigration law program and the University’s most prestigious award for educators. A gift from the late Arthur G. B. Metcalf (Wheelock’35, Hon.’74), a BU Board of Trustees chair emeritus and former professor, funds the Metcalf Cup and Prize and the Metcalf Awards for Excellence in Teaching, created in 1973 and presented at Commencement.
