Conferences
The Office of Diversity Services collaborates on a variety of special events, among which are two major conferences: the Sylvania Woods Conference on African Americans and the Law, and the Hispanic Law Conference and Career Forum. In spring 2006, DS coordinated the tenth Woods Conference, which, as expected, was a major celebration of African-American contributions to the legal profession. Similarly, the Hispanic Law Conference will celebrate its tenth year in the spring of 2007. Both Woods and HLC are established components of the spring Founders' Celebration. A full schedule of 2007 Founders' events is available at http://www.wcl.american.edu/secle/founders/2007/. Other annual events supported by DS include First-Year Diversity Day, Hispanic Heritage Recognition Day, and the Martin Luther King birthday commemoration.
