About the donors
The Tom Grove and Betty Sheeks Law Social Action Internship Stipend was established in 2000 by Betty Sheeks Law, a 1942 economics graduate, and her husband Ed Law, to reward and encourage “someone with a passion for social action” and “someone who can be an agent of change. It is named for Betty and her first husband, Tom Grove, a 1942 mechanical engineering graduate.
In 1972, Mrs. Law earned a master’s degree in social work from the University of Minnesota. She built a career in the social work field and felt her internship experiences provided valuable insights and training that carried into her professional life.
