The Houston Bar Association DEI Committee is holding its annual Student Interview Readiness Panel and Employer Meet and Greet this Thursday, November 14th at Baker Botts! This is a free networking event open to Houston-area law students and lawyers. Interested law students are invited to attend the Student Interview Readiness Panel from 5:00PM-5:45PM, followed by a networking happy hour with employers and program alum from 5:45PM-7:00PM. DEI initiatives hold a special place in my heart. I found my 1L summer internship through a DEI program and have met my biggest champions/most passionate mentors through Houston-area DEI programs. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to co-chair this event with Miguel Escobar, and I am extremely grateful to Baker Botts for hosting us and for its ardent support of DEI efforts. If you'd like to attend, please RSVP here: https://lnkd.in/gq9RKyNV I hope to see you there!
