Union Bank Foundation Supports Diversity Pipeline Programs
May 20, 2010 – San Francisco – The BASF Foundation recently established the Union Bank Foundation Youth Scholars Program in recognition of a $7,500 grant which will benefit BASF’s School-To-College (STC) and Law Academy diversity pipeline programs. Union Bank has been a supporter of Law Academy for several years, and this year they have extended their commitment to our pipeline programs.
The grant will provide educational and professional opportunities to low-income students in the STC and Law Academy programs:
- Fifty Law Academy students will participate in our annual visit to the State Capitol, where students meet a variety of political and legislative leaders and participate in mock committee and legislative sessions.
- Twenty-five STC students will tour local colleges and universities this fall.
- Four Law Academy students will intern at a government or non profit legal office;
Special thanks to the following Union Bank employees who were instrumental in securing this grant from the Union Bank Foundation: Joe Catalano, Senior Vice President and Chief Litigation Counsel; Grace Huey, Vice President of Commercial Treasury Services, and Justin Miller, Director of the Legal Specialty Group.
