How a UCLA Law fellowship helped one student live her dreams
by Joshua Rich
UCLA School of Law Professor E. Tendayi Achiume has earned UCLA’s Distinguished Teaching Award, the university’s highest honor for excellence in the classroom. Achiume was also named the recipient of the Eby Award for the Art of Teaching for 2019-20.
Please join us Thursday, October 23rd and Friday, October 24th, as we commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Critical Race Studies program at UCLA School of Law. This symposium will honor CRS’s significant achievements over the past quarter century, as well as our continued commitment to the study and advancement of racial justice—particularly in the face of oppressive policies that continue to harm and disenfranchise our communities.
About the CRS Symposium
Established in 2007, through a collaboration of CRS students and faculty, the CRS Symposium is the signature event of the UCLA School of Law's Critical Race Studies Program. The purpose of the event is to foreground the most innovative ideas and strategies to end racial injustice, to promote learning and collaboration across disciplines, and to integrate racial justice theory and practice.
The Symposium is also the site of the Reunion of Friends and Alumni of CRS, which consists of UCLA Law graduates and others who share our mission to think new ideas, teach new leaders and scholars, and to transform racial justice advocacy.
