WHO WE ARE
The Georgetown Asian Pacific American Law Students Association ("APALSA") is one of the largest affinity groups on campus with over 100 active members and hundreds of alumni. Our goal is simple: to provide the GULC APA community with necessary professional, academic and social resources and to empower our members to become better APA leaders in the DC community and beyond.
WHAT WE DO
APALSA hosts a variety of professional, academic, and social resources throughout the academic year. On average, APALSA hosts an event per week, summing up to about 30-40 events per year. These events target different areas of need for our membership based on time of year and interest. Our events range from cozy fireside chats for a dozen to large-scale networking programs that host over one hundred attendees.
Check out our Events Page to learn about our upcoming events.
A C A D E M I C
Student-led panels on note-taking, outlining, preparing for final exams, and extracurricular opportunities prepare our members academically. We also host an outline bank, an archive of what classes APALSA members have taken, and a curve guideline.
P R O F E S S I O N A L
Panels, mock-interview programs, and networking receptions with attorney representatives from both the private and public sector prepare our members professionally. Last year, we welcomed over one hundred attorneys from the DC and NY area.
S O C I A L
Social events include member-favorites like our Welcome Back Barbecue and Lunar New Year Celebration. Meet APALSA members at happy hours, karaoke nights, and more!
C O M M U N I T Y
Our most popular community program is our Mentorship Program, which pairs upperclass members to new students for year-long support academically, professionally, and personally. We also collaborate regularly with other affinity groups on campus to represent APA interests in overarching diversity causes like our Intersectionality Week, which celebrated diverse voices on campus.
