For nearly five decades, Professor Catherine Hancock has been a fixture of Tulane Law School as a revered scholar, dedicated teacher, and inspiring mentor whose impact can be measured in the generations of students she has guided and empowered.

After nearly fifty years of calling herself a Tulanian, the Tulane Alumni Association made it official in April of this year, bestowing upon Hancock the title of Honorary Alumna. The recognition celebrated her unwavering dedication to the university and her profound impact on generations of Tulane Law students.

Chris Ralston (L’99), past president of the Tulane Alumni Association, called the honor well-deserved. “Professor Hancock has long been a gifted teacher and beloved member of the faculty,” he said. “I still remember taking her class at night during my 2L summer—I didn’t want to miss the chance to learn from her. It was a privilege to see her recognized for the impact she’s had on so many Tulane Law students.”
