The Steele Family Leadership Program in Gender and Racial Equity at Penn State Dickinson Law was created by the late J. Rodman Steele (class of 1966), his wife, Karen, son, Kevin (class of 1992) and daughter-in-law Tracy (class of 1995) to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives; support victims’ rights (particularly those of women of color); and seek solutions to race and gender injustice and inequities through programming and research focused on the intersectionality of gender and race. Additional information is available online.

The Macon Bolling Allen Civil Rights and Transitional Justice Program at Penn State Dickinson Law was created by anonymous donors to support civil rights and transitional justice activities, particularly those that serve juveniles from underrepresented populations.
