Sinceramente, 
LALSA @ Duke Law 

Duke Law is a prestigious institution with a lot to offer academically and an incredible network of attorneys, like other law schools. But, I want to emphasize that in choosing Duke Law you have chosen a school that takes pride in being a tight knit community. LALSA builds on that value by creating a community of Latinx students whose focus is on providing students with the support they need to lead successful careers.  

When I was admitted to Duke Law, I felt humbled, honored and scared. I had never lived anywhere outside of New Jersey and Puerto Rico. I feared the geographic change, but more deeply, the demographic one – reasons aside, there are few minority women at top law schools. Without Admitted Students Weekend (otherwise known as the weekend I fell in love with Duke), I would have let this fear keep me from becoming the professional I am today. Duke gave me the confidence necessary to feel comfortable when I am the only minority woman in the room. I would not have been in the correct mental space to grow without the support of the student organizations I was fortunate to be a part of. LALSA provided me a small home away from home. I will forever be grateful.
