Portrait of Nia I. Goodman ’22 in a grey suit

“The most fulfilling aspect of participating in a student organization like EWOC [Empowering Women of Color] has been the connections I've made and the sense of community it has given me at the Law School. Student organizations are a wonderful way to make friends who know exactly what you’re going through and can give you great advice and encouragement, both of which are essential as a law student.”
