Cooley Assistant Dean Moore honored

Cooley Law School Professor and Assistant Dean Martha Moore (pictured) was honored by the Detroit Renaissance Alumni Chapter of Alabama A&M University Alumni Association with their "Most Distinguished Mark of Excellence Award" at the association¹s Founder¹s Day Luncheon Saturday, March 27, at Burton Manor in Livonia.  The honor is given out each year to recognize "outstanding citizens in the metropolitan Detroit area who have made countless contributions to improve the quality of life for our citizens." John Nussbaumer, associate dean at Cooley¹s Auburn Hills campus, said. "As usual, Martha was surprised and a little embarrassed by this award, and the first thing she said was, 'I don't know what I¹ve done to deserve this.' That's part of what makes her so deserving." 

Moore mentors young girls at her church and in school; makes meals for the ill and bereaved, as well as for new mothers; provides home-cooked holiday meals for senior citizens at her church; decorates halls for families' special events; and provided pro bono legal services to many. Moore and her husband regularly visit nursing homes with gift bags, participate in Angel Tree (providing gifts to children of incarcerated parents) and canned food drives, invited needy people to their home for holiday and regular meals, purchased food for the needy, counseled couples with marital difficulties, and provided a ready and willing ear to their friends and friends' children. 

"I have had the honor and privilege of knowing and working with Martha for more than two decades," noted Joan P. Vestrand, associate dean of Cooley¹s Ann Arbor campus. "For as long as I have known her, she has placed others ahead of herself. There isn't a day that goes by that doesn't include on her part a charitable act, kind word or service for the benefit of someone else. Martha is a true inspiration and a very worthy recipient of this award and recognition."
