Denver, Colo. (PRWEB) January 20, 2016 -- Lewis Roca Rothgerber Christie LLP has named Kensi Mays, a University of Denver second-year law student, recipient of the 2016 Michael D. Nosler Scholarship
The Michael D. Nosler scholarship was established in 2006 to honor past managing partner Mike Nosler, who was committed to diversity in the legal profession and supported the firm’s commitment to making the legal profession more diverse, inclusive and reflective of the communities it serves.

Mays is president and secretary of the Black Law Students Association (BLSA) at DU, and works with the Dean of Institutional Diversity and Inclusiveness and the Career Development and Opportunities Office to promote and encourage diversity in judicial internships and clerkships among students and graduates. She also volunteers with the Denver Urban Debate League and Partners for Mentoring Youth, emphasizing her interested in nurturing academic, personal and professional development primarily for disadvantaged and at-risk youth.
“Kensi is a great addition to our team at Lewis Roca Rothgerber Christie. She is not only smart and motivated, but also embodies the principles of professionalism and commitment to improving the legal profession that are at the heart of the Nosler Scholarship,” noted Tami Goodlette, a partner and member of the firm’s the Diversity Committee.
