Wichita, KS - Eric Pauly, Weigand Scholar (2006, 2007, 2008)  and 2008 Washburn Graduate, was recently awarded one of the top honors NYU gives to domestic graduate tax students.  In addition to the honor of serving as a graduate editor of the Tax Law Review, a large portion of his tuition will be provided. 

The Tax Law Review (TLR), the premier law school journal for tax policy scholarship, is one of the few faculty-edited journals in the legal academy. Under the current leadership of Professor Deborah Schenk, Editor-in-Chief, the TLR publishes articles and essays by leading legal academics and practitioners as well as noted economists. The journal annually awards merit scholarships to six or seven tax students who serve as graduate editors, assisting the faculty editorial board.

Pauly is pursuing his L.L.M. in Taxation from NYU.  Upon completion, he has accepted a position with Foulston, Siefkin in Wichita.  

 

Andrew Nolan, chair of Foulston's recruiting committee applauds the award as well. "Eric's receipt of a Tax Law Review Scholarship is a true testament to his hard work and academic achievements.  We will all benefit from the knowledge, contacts, and expertise he  brings back to Kansas."

 

While most students enjoy their summer after graduating college, Sam Foreman (Topeka), stayed busy preparing for the CPA Exam.  He sat for the Exam in early August, completing just in time to begin his first year classes at Washburn.

 

Good luck, Sam!  

 

Kansas Students are eager to begin at Notre Dame!

 

 

 

Recently, incoming students were treated to refreshments with the Dean in the press box at the stadium for the close of orientation. 

 

The Kansas and Weigand connection between the two girls will grow even stronger as they share the same class schedule this first semester! 

 

Nick Monaghan, 3rd year scholar at Notre Dame, will likely have his hands full keeping these two out of trouble!

 

Joan Schneider (Wichita), and her family are expecting their third daughter the first week in September.  Joan will be balancing the demands of a newborn along with the fall semester workload. 

 

Joan, be sure to send us a photo of the new baby Schneider!
