Programming example
Women's History Month might have ended in March, but the contributions that women make to the legal profession are never ending. After months of planning, reaching out to professionals in the field, and committee meetings, the Wxmen of Color Collective successfully wrapped up the month with our EmpowerHer Legal Mixer.This mixer was a speed networking event, featuring over 25 lawyers, judges, and activists from the Sacramento legal community as mentors to those in attendance. Participants had 6 minute sessions to sit with the various mentors to learn about their profession and ask questions. A large part of the success of this event is the many legal professionals who eagerly volunteered their time to meet with aspiring lawyers and offer a chance for students to find a female mentor they connect with.It has been such a rewarding honor to serve as a 1L Representative for the Wxmen of Color Collective, and to help make events like this happen! hashtag#womenshistorymonth hashtag#law hashtag#mentor hashtag#eventplanning hashtag#lawstudents
