A Message to Our Community
Dean Michael A. Simons shared versions of these two messages with St. John's Law students, administrators, staff, and alumni in support of our extended AAPI community and to reaffirm the Law School's commitment to calling out, and standing against, racism wherever and whenever we see it, in solidarity with our community members who are subject to racism and violence in their many forms.
