MILWAUKEE, Wis. (May 1, 2012) — The national law firm of Quarles & Brady LLP announced that John W. Daniels Jr., chairman of Quarles & Brady LLP, received the “Friend of the University Award” from the Marquette University Alumni Association.
The criteria of the “Friend of the University Award” are distinguished leadership and/or service to Marquette University by a non-alumnus/alumna and is awarded when appropriate recipients are identified. Daniels was selected for this award as a dependable supporter of Marquette’s Urban Scholars Program, which provides 10 full-tuition awards to academically promising students from disadvantaged backgrounds in Milwaukee-area high schools and Cristo Rey High School in Chicago.
