Celebration(s) of Cultures

The rich and varied backgrounds of the people who make up Albany Law School were celebrated in full this past year—especially during the spring semester. The Black Law Students Association put on a full slate of events for Black History Month, culminating with the inaugural James Campbell Matthews Banquet at the Renaissance Albany Hotel. In March, APALSA, BLSA, Gaelic, LALSA, MLSA, OUTLaw, IALSA, and ILS hosted the annual Multicultural Cabaret, an event, featuring cultural cuisine and live performances, that never fails to pack the gym. The following month saw the return of Albany Law School’s Community Diversity Day, which included a networking reception and—new for 2019—a CLE session on implicit bias.
