The Carolyn Lesch Fund will provide greater support for students from underrepresented groups, including first-generation students, students from low-income backgrounds, students of color, and students with disabilities. Our main goal is to broaden these students’ participation in internships, mentoring programs, and other professional experiences, such as local and national conferences. Connecting more marginalized students to high impact, hands-on experiences will help ensure their success. It also helps ensure that our criminal and civil justice systems are more representative of the diversity in our society.
