The Lorenzo Patiño Banquet is a public service awards ceremony and scholarship fundraiser named in memory of Judge Lorenzo Patiño, whose career exemplified the commitment to public service and diversity that defines King Hall.
Patiño, a 1973 King Hall graduate, was appointed to the Municipal Court of Sacramento in 1980 and co-founded the University of Northern California in 1983. The Patiño Banquet funds scholarships for students in financial need during their bar preparation.
The Patiño Award recognizes a student who has demonstrated extraordinary service and dedication to underserved communities.
The Cruz Reynoso Faculty Award recognizes a staff or faculty member each year who is uniquely supportive and encouraging of King Hall's Latinx student population.
