Many of you may have had the pleasure of experiencing Mrs. Kerri Tassin as your instructor. You may remember that Kerri left MSU and ventured out to the University of Tulsa School of Law, where she is truly making her mark! Last week Kerri was awarded the “CALI Excellence for the Future” (Computer Assisted Legal Instruction) award for her performance as the top student in “Legal Reasoning, Analysis & Writing II”, taken during the Spring semester of 2011. To be the top student of ANYTHING is amazing, but to be the top student in THIS class and receive THIS award is truly commendable….but, you must remember: THIS is OUR Kerri Tassin we are speaking of…and of her, we would expect nothing less. Congrats on this prestigious award, Mrs. Tassin!! You make us proud!!
