Mullikin, a 2011 graduate of �Ӱ���Ƶ, served as a lobbyist and health care attorney for��Blue Cross Blue Shield��of South Carolina – the largest health insurance provider in the Palmetto State.

“The �Ӱ���Ƶ family is saddened to hear of the passing of our graduate, Mary Elizabeth Mullikin,” said Interim President Constance Anastopoulo. “During her time at the law school, Mary Liz participated in Moot Court and went on to have a successful career in law and as a lobbyist.�� She will be remembered for her friendship, her collegiality and her advocacy, and her memory will continue to inspire all who knew her.”

Prior to her work with Blue Cross Blue Shield, Mullikin was an associate at Mullikin Law Firm. She also spent three years serving in the White House as a member of the Presidential Advance Team under former President George W. Bush.

“Mary Liz was one of a kind and her impact will live on through the many people who loved her,” said Charleston Law classmate Whitney Feld.

She was “uniquely tenacious and zealous advocate … and was beloved by legislators and government affairs colleagues.”
