Welcome to Wayne Law, Class of 2028! Happy orientation week and we can’t wait to meet you!💚

Thank you for making the Inaugural 2025 BLSA Reception a night to remember. Born out of necessity, this event highlighted the critical need for stronger support systems for Black law students. In a time of executive orders, judicial uncertainty, and democratic challenges, being present, engaged, and united is more important than ever.

Our theme—Empowering Black Scholars through Unity, Advocacy, and Legacy—is more than words; it’s a call to action.

We were proud to honor our 2025 Awardees, Dawn N. Ison and Denise Lewis, and to stand alongside a community committed to justice, excellence, and the future of Black legal leadership. Thank you for joining us in this work. We’re just getting started.
