The Agosto Justice Center for Leadership and Empowerment

South Texas College of Law Houston provides a diverse body of students with the opportunity to obtain an exceptional legal education, preparing graduates to serve their community and the profession with distinction. Diversity is a fundamental part of this mission, and it’s woven into the fabric of South Texas Law’s distinctive experience.

The law school welcomes and values all types of diversity in its student population, faculty, and staff. Diversity describes the variety of characteristics that all people possess, that distinguishes them as individuals, and that may identify them as belonging to a group or groups.

We embrace, support, and celebrate the diversity of our community, recognizing that it makes us stronger, enhances our learning environment, and prepares our graduates to lead and serve in a diverse world.

To succeed, and advance we must be a community that strives – every day and in every way – to respect the differences in others and embrace our shared characteristics. Even in disagreement we must strive for understanding. This kind of community encourages the very best in its individual members and, consequently, elevates the community as a whole.
