Looking Beyond Our Differences: Seeing the Humanity in Each of Us
2020-03-03, 2020-03-04
A talk by Oregon’s first African American Supreme Court Justice

Justice Adrienne Nelson will talk about how her life experiences — from being the first person of color at her Arkansas high school to be named valedictorian to serving as the first African American on the Oregon Supreme Court — have informed her focus on leadership, diversity, inclusion, mentoring, community service and the legal profession. She works daily to “make this world a little bit better.” Justice Nelson will also give us global perspectives and believes if we each connect to our humanity, it opens us up to many more possibilities.
