without the generous support of those included in this report. On behalf of the Vermont Law School community, we thank you.

The Christopher Braxton Wren
Endowed Scholarship Fund
THE CHRISTOPHER BRAXTON WREN ENDOWED
SCHOLARSHIP FUND WAS ESTABLISHED BY CHRIS’S
FRIENDS AND FAMILY IN FEBRUARY, 2015, following
his untimely death from a fatal brain aneurysm at the
age of forty-four.
As a child, Chris traveled the world with his father,
a New York Times foreign correspondent. He joined the
Student Conservation Association as a teenager, fostering his dedication to environmental preservation.
After graduating from high school in Illinois, he worked
for the National Park Service in a number of roles: law
enforcement ranger, emergency medical technician, and
firefighter in Washington state and California.
During a break from his college studies, he lived in
Johannesburg, accompanying his father into political
hotspots in South Africa, Namibia, and Angola; some of
his news photos appeared in The New York Times.
Attracted by its reputation as the nation’s top
environmental law school, Chris enrolled at Vermont
Law School in 1996. He was the president of the Trial
Advocacy Moot Court Board and captain of the school’s
National Trial Competition team. The Organization
for Security and Cooperation in Europe selected him
to monitor elections in Bosnia where he uncovered a
pattern of fraudulent voting.
The Christopher Braxton Wren Endowed Scholarship
will be directed to students who demonstrate an interest
and passion for international law with a focus on the
protection and enforcement of human rights. Priority
will be given to a student who is (or will be) engaged
in a full-time externship, preferably in a foreign country, where their work focuses on the protection and/or
enforcement of human rights.

FORMER VERMONT LAW SCHOOL DEAN JEFF SHIELDS
AND WIFE GENIE SHIELDS DONATED THEIR TUNBRIDGE HOME TO VERMONT LAW SCHOOL IN 2014.
The funds from any future sale of the 3,400-square-foot
historic home (built in 1810) will be considered an unrestricted gift to VLS.
Dean Shields passed away peacefully on August 2,
2014.
Consummate hosts, Jeff and Genie used their
Tunbridge home to nurture the VLS community. VLS
Deputy Vice Dean Mark Latham, also a former colleague
of Jeff ’s from Chicago, estimates that the number of
gatherings at the Shields’ home exceeded several hundred, ranging from breakfast, lunch outside on the stone
patio or tree-shaded lawn, and dinner beneath a candlelight chandelier. The Shields hosted Zydeco Mardis Gras
parties and contra dances in their barn, celebrating the
spirit of Vermont Law School.

In announcing the Shields gift to the Vermont Law
School community, President Dean Marc Mihaly noted,
“Jeff and Genie have given to this school in so many remarkable ways over the years, particularly through their
extraordinary and dedicated service to students, faculty, staff, and alumni during Jeff ’s tenure as president
and dean. They have always led by example. This most
generous gift is a clear manifestation of their philanthropic spirit.”
Asked why she and Jeff made the decision to donate
their home to Vermont Law School, Genie said, “Jeff felt
deeply that the dean should be available to students,
faculty, and staff as well as the larger community and
we used our home to make that possible. We both loved
sharing it with the VLS family. I cherish my memories of
our lives in our cozy home just past the covered bridge,
with its chickens, cats, rabbits, rescue donkey, and Icelandic horse and the nonstop flow of guests.”

CLASS GIFT 2015
The Cheryl Hanna
Classroom
THE CLASS OF 2015 EMBARKED ON ITS
JOURNEY TOWARDS COMMENCEMENT WITH
A SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO PROFESSOR HANNA.
To honor and memorialize the legacy of their
beloved professor who passed away unexpectedly in July 2014, the class raised $21,979 towards the naming of 007 Classroom after Professor Hanna. VLS will install the plaque on the
classroom wall by the end of the year.
As described by many in and beyond the Vermont Law School community, Professor Hanna
was a true teacher and role model—especially to Vermont Law School students. She was
a caring friend, thoughtful adviser, and warm
listener. An expert on constitutional law, the
U.S. Supreme Court, and women and the law,
Professor Hanna’s scholarship has been published by the nation’s leading law journals, and
cited by the U.S. Supreme Court and numerous
national news publications. For generations of
law students to come, the Cheryl Hanna Classroom will pay tribute to her memory, and be a
reminder of the best qualities of a VLS professor. As one member of the Class of 2015 notes,
“From her, I learned that from now on, my life
has an impact beyond what I do in my office.
My career has the ability to influence others all
over the state, both within the legal profession
and outside of it as well.”
