On May 19, the Law School celebrated graduates from Pipeline to Justice, CUNY Law’s signature access program designed to support students from historically underrepresented backgrounds who are committed to public interest law. Students, faculty, staff, alumni, and families gathered for dinner and reflection on the tremendous dedication that brought the graduating cohort to this milestone.
In addition to remarks from Interim Dean Natalie Gomez-Velez, Dean of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management Dr. Joanne Hyppolite, and Professor Carolyn Nelson, Pipeline student speaker Tamira Brunson addressed her fellow graduates and guests. She reflected on her journey through law school and the community that supported her along the way. At the conclusion of the event, members of the graduating class received their gold stoles, worn during commencement as a proud symbol of their membership in the Pipeline to Justice Program.
