As a distinguished member of the Washington legal
community, Frederick B. Abramson was a private practitioner, and served as President of the
District of Columbia Bar and Bar Counsel to the Board on Professional Responsibility of the District
of Columbia Court of Appeals. Growing up in Harlem, he received a scholarship to Yale University and graduated
from the University of Chicago Law School.
Fred never forgot his roots or how crucial education was to his success. During his professional life he became a mentor and role model to courageous young people pursuing their dreams of education. After his untimely death, friends and colleagues sought to honor his memory and continue his commitment to young people by creating the Frederick B. Abramson Memorial Foundation. Mentoring
With midterms and finals quickly approaching, our Scholars are in full swing to the fall semester. On Tuesday, October 26th, the Mentoring Committee met at Gibson, Dunn, & Crutcher LLP to assemble care packages for the 2009 Abramson Scholars. The mentors contributed school supplies, snacks and words of encouragement to help the Scholars finish their first semester of college strong. The Abramson Foundation also invited the Scholar's parents to join in to help, as well as to meet their chidren's mentors. It was an enjoyable night for socializing for both mentors and parents and the care packages remind the Scholars that they are supported to succeed. |
