Bienvenida 2016

La Raza Law Students of the UC Davis School of Law, in partnership with the Black Law Students Association, held their annual Bienvenida (translation: welcome) event for incoming students, friends, faculty, alumni, and staff.  There was an impressive group of students in attendance, including many first-year students who had just completed Intro Week. 

On a warm August afternoon in the King Hall courtyard, we shared tasty tacos from a local taquería.  Many faculty were in attendance, including Senior Associate Dean Madhavi Sunder and Professors Evelyn Lewis, Jasmine Harris, Leticia Saucedo, Clay Tanaka, Amagda P érez, Lisa Ikemoto, and, of course, Cruz Reynoso.  Joe Schneider, Director of Admission and Outreach, was there as well.  I was pleased to welcome the group and talked about the tradition of the bienvenida, which I first attended in 1989 when Professor P érez was a law student!
