Donor Spotlight

"Having a space where students can actively engage in courtroom simulations brings their education to life and prepares them for the demands of their future careers," said Jerome Pickett '98/'22M.

The Jerome and Tina Pickett Mock Courtroom — a gift from Jerome '98/'22M and Tina Pickett — brings a professional, immersive legal setting to the Dyson Center. Designed as a hands-on training ground, the space helps prepare students for careers in law and criminal justice by building skills in trial procedures, critical thinking, and advocacy, reflecting the Picketts' commitment to inspiring future leaders grounded in justice, ethics, and service.
