Stetson Law and Dean Alexandre win diversity and leadership awards at national conference
Dean Michèle Alexandre received the John Mercer Langston Legal Education Leadership Award at the 15th Annual National Black Pre-Law Conference and Law Fair at Columbia Law School in New York in early November.
The award is named for John Mercer Langston, the founding dean of the Law Department at Howard University and first black law school dean in 1869. Today, 150 years after Langston’s achievement, we have reached the largest number of black law school deans serving at American law schools in history.
Also during the conference, Stetson University College of Law was honored with a Diversity Outreach Champion Award. The award recognizes Stetson Law’s demonstrated commitment to recruiting black law students. The conference previously recognized Stetson Law as a Diversity Outreach Champion in 2014.
The National Black Pre-Law Conference and Law Fair aims to provide a powerful forum to help increase the numbers of excellent, strategic and competitive African American law school applicants, students and graduates nationwide.
