Celebrating Diversity-Cultural Month 2008
Since the spring of 2006, the Office of Diversity Initiatives
has been working to provide law students and the community at
large with a wide range of cultural programs that address many
different forms of diversity.
Our programs raise awareness of issues that adversely affect
the community including: homelessness, domestic violence, wrongful
convictions. Additionally, we have presented lectures on a variety
of issues affecting the African American, Latino and other minority
communities.
