Sponsorship Opportunities

Harvard Law School (HLS) invites you to sponsor Celebration of Latino Alumni (CLA) 2026, a leadership conference open to all alumni that honors Latino HLS graduates. CLA will host alumni who are leaders in law, business, finance, academia, government, non-profits, media, and the arts, among other fields, as well as current students. CLA attendees will participate in panels and keynote addresses to discuss current issues in the law and beyond.

Your tax-deductible sponsorship will proclaim your support for Latino leaders in the law, as well as for HLS, and will give sponsors visibility (in-person and online) and access to a select group of accomplished alumni and current students with diverse affiliations.
