The Office of Multicultural Affairs, operating through the office of the Dean of Students, aims to provide programs and services that provide the most student support possible.</p>\r\n<p>Students find support through a variety of organizations including the Black Law Students Association, the Latin American Law Student Association, the Women&rsquo;s Law Caucus and Outlaw (the school&rsquo;s LGBTQ organization.)</p>\r\n<p>We celebrate Black History Month, hold a special event each year to celebrate Martin Luther King Day; host an annual Diversity Alumni Reception where students can build networking relationships and actively seek out diverse students through the admissions process. BLSA students have established a mentoring program with upper division students and diverse lawyers from the surrounding area.</p>\r\n<p>Finally, we host an annual Dean's Diversity Forum, which&nbsp;brings together some of the nation's most creative and innovative thinkers to discuss a new topic each year.</p>\r\n<p><a href=\"ipl://13//WyIxOTA0Il0=////\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2020 Dean's Diversity Forum</a>: Celebrating the Centennial of the Harlem Renaissance: Law, Lawyers and the Pursuit of Excellence.<br /><a href=\"//commonwealthlaw.widener.edu/prospective-students/why-widener/events/detail/3355/\">2019 Dean's Diversity Forum</a>: Race and the Future of America's Elderly: What Happens After You&rsquo;ve Built the Present<br /><a href=\"//commonwealthlaw.widener.edu/prospective-students/why-widener/events/detail/3322/\">2018 Dean's Diversity Forum</a>:&nbsp;Thurgood Marshall--Twenty-Five Years After: Still Celebrating a Life that Changed the Way We See the World.<br /><a href=\"//commonwealthlaw.widener.edu/prospective-students/why-widener/events/detail/3272/\">2017 Dean's Diversity Forum</a>:&nbsp;Economic Justice: Dignity Through Opportunity<br /><a href=\"//commonwealthlaw.widener.edu/prospective-students/why-widener/events/detail/3171/\">2016 Dean's Diversity Forum</a>:&nbsp;Justice: Healing for the Past; Opportunity in the Future</p>",
