Diversity Programs
Given the diversity of the student body, OCS offers a number of
programs and opportunities for students who are members of underrepresented populations. As part of this effort, OCS has tailored
a number of employment programs as a result. We also work closely
with student organizations including student of color groups, OUTLaw (LGBT student group), and Law Women to facilitate networking
between students and alumni at a number of legal employers, and also to address diversity issues in the hiring and recruiting process.
