Welcome

On behalf of the Diversity Coalition Executive Board, it is my pleasure to introduce you to our mission and our organization! The Diversity Coalition was founded, in large part, to bring together various student organizations on Northwestern Law's campus with a shared purpose of promoting diversity. Our mission has grown over the years as we have recognized that our notion of diversity has become increasingly diverse! We have broadened our focus and reach to honor and address the changes in our law school community. We not only provide a forum for racial, religious, and gender issues, but we also strive to give a voice to the widely different issues that arise for our students who hail from all different walks of life, whether they are married or single, fresh out of college or out for a few years, under-represented minorities or not. Everyone has a unique perspective and life experiences to contribute, and we look forward to getting to know you.

Plans for the 2007-2008 school year are already underway! Diversity Week is September 24-28, 2007, but the party starts early with a law-school family & friends picnic on September 22. Our Diversity Week theme is "Diversity: The Individual Experience." We are also coordinating outreach efforts among the various minority student groups, sponsoring diversity dinners where students break bread together and get to know one another, and of course, pulling off one of Northwestern Law's most popular events - Global Village. We couldn't do all this without the support of the legal community, from students to professors to law firms, so we thank you all in advance for what is shaping up to be a great year! We hope you'll join us for the adventure.

Best,
Dao Huynh
President
