The Law School announces a new program to support the work of The Office of Diversity & Inclusion.
The Office of Diversity & Inclusion hosts numerous academic, cultural, and celebratory events throughout the academic year aimed at broadening participants’ understanding and appreciation of diversity. The ODI works closely with students and student organizations on programs that are focused on ensuring a welcoming and inclusive environment. The ODI activities include, but are not limited to, educating the community, coordinating support for diverse constituencies, facilitating compliance with nondiscrimination policies, helping recruit students and faculty, and serving as an institutional liaison for addressing issues that may arise from time to time.
The ODI sponsored several programs during the fall semester, including a “First in my Family to go to Law School” program that targeted first year law students and an LGBTQ+ issues forum. In the spring, the ODI will celebrate the 45th Anniversary of the Law School’s first African-American graduates.
