Newport Beach attorney and UCI alumna Jennifer Friend (left) was honored by the Orange County Business Journal as an “Innovator of the Year” for her leadership of Project Hope Alliance, a charity group which helps homeless O.C. families with academic programs for their kids and financial aid for the parents.
