LEO Orientation

The Legal Education Opportunities (LEO) Program at UW Law School is designed to support students of color and other historically underrepresented groups throughout the recruitment, enrollment, and alumni experience.

The program provides an informal academic and social support network for its students while they are in law school and beyond. LEO Orientation offers an opportunity for community building among LEO students and their allies. RSVP Required (See email from Admissions).
