Diversity Programs

Given the diversity of the student body, OCS offers and supports a number of programs and opportunities for all students. As part of this effort, OCS has tailored a number of career programs. We also work closely with all Student Organizations including the student affinity groups. 

  • The Office of Career Services is hosting the Law Firm Inclusion Fair in Fall 2025 during which legal employers that sponsor a 1L diversity fellowship, internship, or summer associate program are showcased to 1Ls.
  • The Office of Career Services routinely speaks with employers about their diversity initiatives.
  • The Office of Career Services advertises various on-campus presentations and receptions related to diversity initiatives.
  • Many law firms host diversity events at their firm for our students to enable them to learn about the firm's practice and meet/network with attorneys interested in diversity initiatives.
  • Many firms offer scholarship or fellowship opportunities for 1L and 2L students as part of the firms' diversity initiatives.
  • Students actively participate in the New York City Bar 1L Fellowship Program.
  • Students participate in programs offered through the Law Alumni of Color Association (LACA), formerly known as the Black, Latino, Asian, Pacific American Law Alumni Association. LACA holds panels, receptions, happy hours, and dinners throughout the year.
