The Changemaker Award, according to the Penn State Dickinson Law Antiracist Development Institute, is presented to individuals who prioritize the needs of their community and demonstrate significant impact in the legal industry by providing access or information to facilitate diversity and antiracism.

"I am extraordinarily honored to receive this award from Penn State Dickinson Law's Antiracist Development Institute," said Attorney Mitchell. "I greatly respect Dean Danielle M. Conway, Professor Dermot Groome and program manager TaWanda H. Stallworth's leadership in this courageous, difficult, and badly needed effort. To be recognized by a group doing such significant work to push for meaningful change is a high honor. I see this recognition as a charge to continue my devotion to fight the good fight and press to do much more and make an even greater impact. I stand with them and look forward to collaborating and supporting their ambitious goals for years to come."
