(PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 14, 2005) - The Phoenix College Business Department will award $25,550 in scholarships to 62 business students during a recognition ceremony on Tuesday, Feb. 15 beginning at 7 p.m. in the Willo Conference Room at Phoenix College. PC alumnus and adjunct faculty, Conrad Hernandez, Esq. will be the keynote speaker at the ceremony.

After graduating from Phoenix College, Hernandez certainly made a name for himself within the community. He received a law degree from Arizona State University and clerked for the Superior Court Judge Roger Kaufman. Soon after that, he moved on to the City of Phoenix as a prosecutor and has most recently been in private practice with experience in all types of civil litigation, family law, and criminal defense.
