Mary Ann Ferguson, Assistant Dean for Diversity and Equity Services at Michigan State University College of Law, has received the 2025 Camille deJorna Ubuntu Award from the Law School Admission Council (LSAC). 

The national honor, presented at LSAC’s annual meeting earlier this summer, recognizes Ferguson’s longstanding leadership in law school admissions and diversity initiatives. Now in its third year, the award is named for Camille deJorna, a pioneering legal educator and tireless advocate for equity in legal education.

“Camille deJorna is one of my living icons, and it truly is a lifetime honor to receive this award in her namesake,” Ferguson said. “She didn’t just open doors—she held them open for others to walk through.”
