Jessica Borum Awarded 2016 ITLA College of Fellows Scholarship

WKW attorney Bruce Kehoe is the president of the Indiana Trial Lawyers Association (ITLA) College of Fellows. Each year, the fellows choose a project to give back to the community. This year, the ITLA Fellows decided to hold an essay contest with the prompt “right to trial by jury.” The winner would receive a scholarship for their work.

Upon deliberation between 20 contestants, the Indiana Historical Society and the members of the ITLA College of Fellows awarded Jessica Borum, a senior at North Central High School, the  2016 scholarship for her exceptional work.

In the fall of 2017, Jessica will be attending Arizona University to work toward a degree in education. Her educational interests rest in early childhood reading skills. Jessica’s plan is to focus on the Orton-Gillingham early reading curriculum.

Arizona University was an easy choice for Jessica: She has arthritis, and the Arizona climate will ease her arthritic symptoms. That fact, coupled with the university’s great education program, means Jessica is looking at a very promising future.

Congratulations, Jessica! Speaking for all of the fellows, the Indiana historical society, and all of our WKW attorneys, we wish you luck in your future endeavors.
