The Bright Award at Stanford recognizes an individual who has made unheralded contributions to environmental sustainability. Issued by Stanford Law School, the award recognizes significant achievement in conservation across different regions of the world. The award was created by a gift to the Law School in 2007 from Raymond E. Bright Jr., JD '59, on behalf of his late wife, Marcelle, and himself. Mr. Bright died in 2011.
