Terrence Lee Croft Essay Award

The Annual Intern Program Essay Contest is named in honor of Terrence Lee Croft,  one of the founders of the Intern Program.  Terrence was the President of the Atlanta Bar Association in 1993, the year of the Intern Program’s founding. Through the years, Terrence has been an enduring and a dedicated supporter of the Intern Program, always challenging the Intern Program to do more. Naming the Essay Contest after Terrence is but  a small way to honor what Terrence  has meant and will always mean to the Intern Program.
