Minority Law Students Association

Mission Statement
The Minority Law Students Association (MLSA) utilizes the collective resources of members to articulate and promote the professional needs and goals of minority law students at The Penn State Dickinson School of Law. All members of the Dickinson community are invited and welcome to join. MLSA is an organization that fosters and encourages professional competence; focuses on the relationship of the minority law student and the minority attorney to the American and International legal structure; instills in the minority law student and the minority attorney a greater awareness and commitment to the needs of the minority community; and does all things necessary and appropriate to accomplish these purposes.

The Penn State Dickinson School of Law has established a Diversity Office for the purposes of encouraging diversity and providing a multi-cultural surrounding for all students to study and congregate.

For further information contact MLSA at (717) 240-5149 or by e-mail.
