“Columbia Law’s student organizations stand out for their ability to unite individuals from diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences around shared purposes, interests, or passions. These groups cultivate a vibrant and inclusive community that enriches the law school experience by creating opportunities for students to form meaningful connections and work collaboratively toward impactful goals—whether through professional development, mentorship, advocacy, or cultural celebration.”
