Stetson Law interim Dean Theresa Radwan and Bar President Gary Lesser.
Theresa Radwan, interim dean at Stetson University College of Law, won The Florida Bar’s Standing Committee on Professionalism’s Law Faculty/Administrator Award.
The award, presented at the Bar Annual Convention in Boca Raton, recognizes a faculty member or administrator of one of Florida’s accredited law schools who, through teaching, scholarship, and service to the profession, best supports or exemplifies the mission of the Committee on Professionalism: “To promote the fundamental ideals and values of professionalism within the legal system and to instill those ideals of character, competence, civility, and commitment in all those persons serving and seeking to serve therein.”
For the past 22 years, Dean Radwan has held several roles at Stetson Law, including her role as a professor, associate dean of academics, senior associate dean of academics, associate dean for administration and business affairs, transitional business administrator, and currently as interim dean of the law school.
Dean Radwan also won acclaim as a leader of the university’s team in overseeing the pandemic response, while also teaching classes and writing scholarly works. She was one of only six in all of Florida’s higher education system to be honored with the “She Stepped Up Award: Recognizing Extraordinary Leadership During Covid-19,” presented by the American Council on Education (ACE) Women’s Network.
Colleagues note that, “In all these capacities she has acted with the highest level of integrity and professionalism. She exudes professionalism in everything she does, from how she writes an email, to how she introduces speakers, how she interacts with faculty, staff, and students, how she teaches classes and how she performs her current role as interim dean of the law school.”
Dean Radwan was recently a guest on the Bar’s Center for Professionalism podcast “Never Contemplated.”
