Texas Tech Law School Foundation Board
“I remember when tax Professor Cummins called me and offered me a scholarship to attend Texas Tech Law School. I had never gone to Lubbock and committed site unseen. Because of the generosity of Texas Tech, I am the lawyer that I am today. It is very important for me to give back.” As a form of giving back, Mimi serves as a member of the Texas Tech Law School Foundation.
In giving back, Mimi created the Coffey Diversity Endowed Scholarship, which awards minority students a partial scholarship to attend Texas Tech School of Law every year.
She is also one of the donors to the Professor Rob Sherwin Professorship. Rob Sherwin is a Professor and the Director of Advocacy Programs at Texas Tech School of Law. As the Director of Advocacy Programs, Rob leads and coaches the mock trial and moot court teams in state-wide and national competitions. In 2020, Texas Tech is the #1 ranked law school for American Bar Association competitions. They consistently turn out champions.
Mimi also sponsors the annual Dean Darby Dickerson Writing Award, an award granted to a law student for excellence in legal writing.
