Thank you. I'd like to thank Antonin and Ruth for honoring me by naming the lifetime achievement award after me and giving me the opportunity to present it. Although my office just got substantially more comfortable, the law school is still my home. I'm happy to be involved however I can.

Tonight's recipient is also very involved in the law school. In her three years, she has been very involved with SBA and the new Society program, and yet she's always found time to blog, party, and be hungover when appropriate (and sometimes when it's not appropriate). This year as SBA president, she has sponsored one of the best W. Page Keeton Law Weeks the school has ever seen, with a wonderful dodgeball tournament named after my good friend Bob Dawson, and (from what I hear) a kick ass Casino Night. When she is not busy planning events for the whole school, she's busy planning events for her mentees. As head mentor, she has served this year's 1L class well.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to award this year's Dean Powers Lifetime Achievement Award to Ann Hsu!
