The Tax Section of the State Bar of Michigan recently awarded Western Michigan University Cooley Law School graduate Jayson Thomas (right) the Student Achievement Award during the 35th annual State Bar Tax Conference on May 25. Thomas, who graduated from WMU-Cooley in April, received the award based on his efforts to revive the law school’s Tax Law Society, recruit students interested in tax law to join the student organization, and spearhead a Careers in Tax webinar.
