This panel of associates from Chicago-area firms (and possibly other markets) will discuss what it means to be a diverse associate and how that impacts their interactions, work life, and career prospects. The panel is targeted at explaining what and why diversity initiatives exist, whether they actually help or hurt, and comparing the effect of diversity in big versus small firms.

Organized by the Asian Pacific American Law Students Association. Co-sponsored by the Office of the Dean of Student as part of Diversity Month.
