In recognition of the Firm's 125th Anniversary, and as anticipated by the Firm-wide Diversity Action Plan, Simpson Thacher has launched a new Urban Education Initiative. This service Initiative will build on the Firm's prior experience working with public school students over the past decades, and expand on it by working with more schools and by involving each of our offices in educational outreach projects.
In the first phase of this new project, the Firm will work with its longstanding education partner, New Visions for Public Schools (www.newvisions.org), to develop and provide enrichment programs for students in six public high schools in New York City during the 2009-2010 academic year. Victoria B. Bjorklund and John W. Carr are leading this Firm-wide effort as Co-Chairs of the Firm's Diversity Committee.
