IU McKinney Dean Karen E. Bravo was honored during NYU School of Law’s Black Allied Law Students Association (BALSA) Foundation gala. Dean Bravo is a graduate of NYU School of Law, where she received her Master of Laws degree.
The gala’s theme was “Been Black, Been Existing, Been Excelling: A Celebration of Blackness Changing and Shaping the Law.” The annual event recognizes and pays homage to NYU School of Law alumni whose contributions to the field of law and beyond have inspired students. Previous honorees include Professor Paulette Caldwell, the Honorable A. Jay Cooper Jr., Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, Judge Raymond Lohier, and Professor Bryan Stevenson.
Co-honoree with Dean Bravo was Professor Alexis Hoag of Brooklyn Law School. The keynote speaker for the evening was Alexis Coke, director of Gender, Race, and Ethnic Justice at the Ford Foundation.
This was the first time the event had taken place since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. NYU is the home of the founding BALSA chapter, which was established over 45 years ago to promote the advancement of Black law students.
