Hyland Levin Shapiro Associates Attend Rutgers Law MSP Graduation and 10th Anniversary Gala

On May 13, 2026, HLS associates Mariane Gardner and Jenise Rivera were honored to attend and support the Rutgers Law School Minority Student Program’s (MSP) Graduation celebration and 10th Anniversary Gala. The event celebrated a decade of the MSP’s impact in fostering mentorship, opportunity, and professional development for law students from historically underrepresented backgrounds.

As proud graduates of the MSP program themselves, Mariane and Jenise’s participation reflected both their personal connection to the program and HLS’s continued commitment to supporting diversity and inclusion within the legal profession. During the event, Jenise had the privilege of delivering the charge to the graduating class, offering words of encouragement and guidance as students prepare to begin the next chapter of their legal careers.

The celebration highlighted the lasting impact of the MSP community and the importance of continued mentorship and support for future generations of attorneys.
