Bar News - September 17, 2004 McLane Director Presents Harvard Book Award to Students HONOR STUDENTS FROM seven Seacoast area schools recently received the Harvard Prize Book Award on behalf of the Harvard-Radcliffe Club of New Hampshire. David Wolowitz, a Harvard alumnus and director with the McLane, Graf, Raulerson & Middleton law firm’s Portsmouth office, presented each student with a copy of the book, Making the Most of College. The national award program encourages Harvard alumni to conduct outreach with high schools in their area to provide a local contact and role model for students with the potential to attend Harvard. "Every student willing to work hard to excel in academics and to be a positive, contributing citizen in his or her community needs to realize that attending Harvard, however prestigious, is not an unattainable goal," explains Wolowitz. He was the first to introduce the program to Seacoast schools, where he has been honoring students for more than 20 years. "You need not come from a privileged background to be considered," adds Rolf Goodwin, a director at McLane’s Manchester office and also a Harvard alumnus. "All kids who dream of one day attending a school like Harvard, whether they come from public, private or parochial schools, big or small, wealthy or not, should go for it." Students in their junior year are nominated by their school’s administration for exhibiting excellence in academic, extra-curricular and community-focused achievements. This year’s winners are: William J. Long, Oyster River High School; James Barnard, Dover High School; Marcelo Guindon and Elizabeth Meade, both of Exeter High School; Rachel Foley, Portsmouth High School; Patrick Jardin, Winnacunnet High School; and Samuel Holmes, Nute High School.  Students from seven high schools received books on behalf of the Harvard-Radcliffe Club of New Hampshire.
