We recognize that bringing together students and educators from varied backgrounds and with varied perspectives enriches the learning experience we offer and creates an environment that better reflects the society in which our graduates will live and work.<\/h4>\r\n<p>We also recognize that it is our responsibility as legal educators to help bring greater diversity to the legal profession. We reflect this commitment through the work of our Admissions Office, through the Dean&rsquo;s Diversity Board, which helps guide initiatives related to diversity, and through the Office of Student Affairs, which oversees diversity-related programs on a day-to-day basis.<\/p>\r\n<p>Among Widener Law Commonwealth&rsquo;s notable programs is the Jurist Academy, an innovative initiative to broaden access to law school and the legal profession by raising awareness of opportunities in the field of law among undergraduate college students. We also offer&nbsp;<a href=\"ipl:\/\/351\/\/W10=\">events and diversity-related programs<\/a> and a number of campus organizations representing students from varied backgrounds, including a Safe Space.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Multicultural affairs are coordinated by the Office of Student Affairs.
