Law School's Sugar is recognized for his teaching talents

Peter Sugar, a 1970 Wayne
State University Law School
alumnus, long-time Wayne Law
adjunct faculty member and a
member of Southfield-based
Jaffe Raitt Heuer and Weiss,
has received the Donald H.
Gordon Award for Excellence
in Teaching.

Sugar was given the award
by Dean Robert M. Ackerman
at the Wayne Law reception
during the State Bar of
Michigan's annual meeting in
Dearborn in September.

Established in 1981 and
presented annually to a Wayne
Law professor who exemplifies
excellence in the classroom, the
award is named for Donald H.
Gordon, who was dean of the
Law School from 1975-1980
and recently passed away.

Sugar is the first adjunct
professor to be honored with
the award and has taught

classes at Wayne Law for more
than 40 years. He currently co-
teaches Business Planning with
Professor Alan Schenk, a tax
law expert.

"This recognition is a great
honor and, at the same time,
extremely humbling," Sugar
says. "I am fortunate to have the
opportunity to teach and work
with the outstanding faculty at
Wayne Law. In particular, I have
had the unique opportunity
to collaborate during the past
eight years with Alan Schenk, a
distinguished tax scholar and,
coincidentally, my former tax
professor. More importantly,
I am inspired by the creative
energy and contributions of our
students. This engaged student
participation makes our class
an exciting, alive business law
laboratory that reproduces legal
analysis of common and exotic
business transactions settings."

fall's 2011 Honors Scholarship
Dinner, hosts and scholarship
donors Mandell "Bill" Berman
(left) and Madeleine "Madge"
Berman (right) spent an evening
with their scholarship recipient,
WSU Honors student Stephanie
Chackunkal. The annual event
recognizes and celebrates the
generosity of donors that support
30 private scholarships in the
Irvin D. Reid Honors College. For
many students, these scholarships
make a tremendous difference in
their ability to pursue academic
work full time, and this event
provides an opportunity for
students to meet their donors and
share their appreciation for the
scholarships they receive.
