Diane Nhan Award in Law for IBPOC Students

Award descriptionAwards totalling $2,300 have been made available annually through a gift from Diane Nhan (B.A., J.D. 2011) for second- or third-year domestic J.D. students who are Indigenous or who identify as Black or as a Person of Colour. Preference will be given to students who have demonstrated an interest in arts or the performing arts. Financial need may be considered. During her adolescent years, Diane was supported by her parents, who were refugees to Canada, and the broader arts community, which helped her cultivate a strong interest in film, theatre and the performing arts. She received a Bachelor of Arts (Hons.) in Psychology from the University of Alberta and was called to the Bar of British Columbia in 2012. Diane decided to pursue a career that combined her legal background with her continued interest in the entertainment industry and currently works as a Talent Agent stewarding the careers of actors and artists. This award was established to support law students who share Dianes interest in arts or the performing arts. The awards are made on the recommendation of the Peter A. Allard School of Law.
