12th Annual Diversity Gala

April 7, 2016 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Diversity Gala

Join Santa Clara Law for the 12th Annual Diversity Gala on April 7, 2016 at the Corinthian Grand Ballroom in downtown San Jose to recognize renowned individuals and organizations which have promoted a diverse and inclusive workplace. The Diversity Gala was developed to inspire organization leaders and students to hold a meaningful conversation regarding diversity and inclusion in the legal profession.

Proceeds from the Diversity Gala fund the Thurgood Marshall Civil Rights Scholarship which was established as a means of enabling future generations of lawyers to continue the work of Justice Marshall. The scholarship is available to currently enrolled Santa Clara Law students who:

  1. Demonstrate an academic interest in equality, inclusion and social justice;
  2. Possess a record of community service, and are committed to eliminating racial, social and economic disadvantage in under-served communities; and
  3. Intend to pursue a legal career that advances equality and social justice.
