Helping future lawyers become skilled, global-minded, and culturally competent professionals.
The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion works with the Mitchell Hamline administration, faculty, and staff to create an environment where students feel comfortable expressing their racial, ethnic, gender, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, religion, and all other dimensions of their social and cultural identity.
