It has a transformative understanding of the epidemic of self-doubt that affects girls around the world and aims to promote self-worth. Our organization on campus is connected to the nationwide movement, but we can work independently, which means we can focus on issues that we identify on our campus. It is open to everyone regardless of gender, sex or gender expression!

The purpose and goals of Minorities in Pre-Law at UT is to promote a coalition and open communication among students (including, but not limited to minorities) and instill students with greater awareness and commitment to minorities in the legal field. Additionally, law is the least diverse profession in the United States, largely due to unequal access to legal education and minorities feeling they would be voiceless within the legal community. To address this, we aim to help foster the development of these students by providing them with social events to connect them with members of the legal field, resources to help them with exam preparation, and opportunities to get involved with the legal community, so no one feels like they are alone in the pre-law community.
