WELCOME FROM CO-CHAIRS
n behalf of Penn State Law and Dean Hari Osofsky, we warmly Owelcome you all to the 13th Annual Lutie A. Lytle Black Women Law Faculty Workshop and Writing Retreat. Founded around 13 years ago by a group of African American female law faculty, the Lutie A. Lytle Conference was named after the first African American woman to teach at a chartered law school. In its inaugural year, the conference hosted 25 people while the most recent conference hosted over 100 current and prospective black female faculty.
The primary goal of the Lutie A. Lytle Conference is the mentorship of young, prospective black women law faculty. This year’s program Eleanor M. Brown emphasizes this goal by highlighting the role of this conference in building Professor of Law and International Affairs, a pipeline of black women law professors. During this process, the program Associate Dean for committee remained mindful of the challenges that have come with our External Affairs and organizational growth. We created a “New Lutie” Committee to help Corporate Partnerships, Senior Scientist—Rock brainstorm the program needs of our new and aspiring academics. We also Ethics Institute created space for those who have taken on new deanships and other sensitive leadership positions.
As with every year, this program retains the core elements of the Lutie conference: honest scholarly feedback in addition to genuine collegiality and support. It is our obligation to continue this tradition by mentoring the next generation and ensuring the inclusivity of these conferences. By any measure, the Lutie Conference has been phenomenally successful, and we hope that we as a community can carry on that success.
We would like to extend our deepest thanks to Penn State Law for hosting such a remarkable group, as well as all members of the program committee Shaakirrah R. Sanders for their assistance. We thank you all for coming. Visiting Professor of Law, Penn State Law (Spring 2019) Professor of Law, With warm regards, University of Idaho Eleanor M. Brown College of Law Shaakirrah R.
