NCCU BLSA comes in Second Place for SRBLSA Chapter of the Year!


February 4-8, 2009 (SRBLSA Convention—Nashville, TN)

The North Carolina Central University School of Law Chapter of the Black Law Students Association (BLSA) recently came in Second Place for Southern Regional BLSA Chapter of Year!!!

Over the course of this school year, NCCU BLSA has worked tirelessly to implement innovative programs which serve the needs of its members and the local community, such as the “So You Think You Want to go to Law School?” Pre-Law Conference, North Carolina Community Voters Project, Annual MLK Day of Service, BLSA Week 2008, Project Haiti, Habitat for Humanity, and many others. It is no wonder that NCCU BLSA came in second for Chapter of the Year by .77 (less than a point), surpassing 12 other BLSA chapters in the Southern Region (including chapters at Emory and the University of Miami).

Additionally, NCCU BLSA received the “Johnnie L. Cochran Award” for Largest Membership. With 182 paid members, NCCU BLSA is proud to be the largest BLSA chapter in the Nation!

Another special congrats is afforded to Ms. Amy Oraefo who was elected SRBLSA Sub-Region III Director! As Sub-Region III Director, Ms. Oraefo will be in charge of all the BLSA chapters in the states of North Carolina and South Carolina!!

Congratulations to NCCU BLSA on your commitment to service and cultivating “social engineers”!!
