UC LAW SAN FRANCISCO — From mentoring at-risk youth to promoting reforms to California’s criminal laws and health care system, Victor “Tito” Torres has worked for years to advance social justice and give back to the Latinx community. This year, Torres was awarded the Jeanette M. Acosta Memorial Scholarship, named after a 2016 Hastings alumna who fervently advocated for the rights of marginalized people. Acosta passed away in 2017 after a valiant, year-long battle with cervical cancer.
