On Christmas Eve, as the snow fell outside the Minneapolis hospital room of Josiane “Josi” M. Dixon ’06, her family said goodbye to her the best way they knew how – singing “Silent Night” and some of her favorite childhood Christmas songs.

 The night marked the end to a three-year-long battle Dixon bravely fought against acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Josiane “Josi” M. Dixon ’06 was a student who was always in the life of the school, making a lasting impact on the community. She was a Trial Team member, the president of the Public Interest Law Foundation, a Student Ambassador, a 3L Gift campaign captain, and involved in Moot Court competitions.

Perhaps Josi’s most noteworthy impact on California Western is seen in her pivotal role in establishing the Adrianne Baker Fellowship, California Western’s loan repayment assistance program.
