2012 Vanguard Prize Recipient: Judith Calvert
The NNLSO Vanguard Prize recognizes individuals for outstanding professional achievement in support of student services. The recipient of this prestigious award is selected by the NNLSO Executive Committee after review of nominations from deans of member schools. The Prize includes a $2000 award to be earmarked for the recipient’s continued professional development. We are pleased to announce that the 2012 Vanguard Prize recipient is Ms. Judith Calvert.
Judith Calvert has worked at Yale University for more than 25 years, as, among other things, a commissioning editor at Yale University Press; Deputy Registrar for Yale College and Director of Classroom Scheduling for the Faculty of Arts and Sciences; and, since 2002, as Registrar and now also Assistant Dean at the Yale Law School.
She has also been a long term member of NNLSO and served as the Journal editor from 2003-2007 and served on the Executive Committee from 2003-2008.
In her nomination, Associate Dean Megan Barnett noted that Ms. Calvert “has worked hard to envision, implement and manage technological solutions that actually support the educational mission of the school.” Part of Ms. Calvert’s service to Yale Law School has included developing an online exam system that affords students the luxury of taking exams anywhere in the world; creating ways to make technology work with the school’s mission instead of changing the school’s mission to fit technology; collaborating with various constituents to create processes that work to the benefit of students; and enhancing the ability to create much needed reporting about curricular issues for the faculty.
The NNLSO Board invites you to join us in congratulating Ms. Judith Calvert. A formal presentation ceremony will be held at the NNLSO Annual Luncheon and Business Meeting in Philadelphia, PA on April 3, 2012. NNLSO thanks AppointLink for its support of the Prize.

“Thanks again to NNLSO for awarding me a first-time attendee grant for the 2011 AACRAO/NNLSO Annual Conference. I attended some great workshops and met many valuable colleagues in my field. I am looking forward to Philadelphia in 2011.” Jill Akervik |

"Attending my first AACRAO/NNLSO conference was such a thrill. Not only did I get to see the beautiful city of Seattle, I had the opportunity to meet and interact with law school representatives from all over. The sessions I attended gave me the chance to learn how other law schools go about their practices and I learned that we pretty much have the same issues and hurdles. I hope to continue to attend these annual meetings to see everyone I met previously and meet to new contacts. This is a wonderful conference and I recommend it highly to anyone in higher education."

"I am grateful for the First-Time Attendee Grant because it allowed me the opportunity to meet and network with registrars from other law schools. I am only 6 months into my position as a law school registrar, so I gained valuable insights from my colleagues at other schools who have been in the field for a longer time. I've brought back helpful ideas and possible new strategies for improving the services we offer in our office. Thank you!" Registrar Saint Louis University School of Law |

"I cannot thank NNLSO enough for selecting me as a recipient of the First-Time Attendee Grant this year. I am new to my position as the registrar at the University of Tulsa so it was great to meet other registrars in person. The opportunity to network was priceless, everyone was extremely welcoming and the sessions were very informative. I would definitely encourage others to attend! I certainly hope to be at the next annual meeting myself. Thank you NNLSO!"
