About our speaker

Danielle M. Conway is the Dean and Donald J. Farage Professor of Law at Penn State Dickinson Law and Penn State School of International Affairs. She is currently serving a one-year term as President of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) for 2026. A leading expert in procurement law, entrepreneurship, and intellectual property law, Dean Conway joined Dickinson Law after serving for four years as dean of the University of Maine School of Law and 14 years on the faculty of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, William S. Richardson School of Law. Dean Conway’s scholarly agenda and speeches have focused on, among other areas, advocating for public education and for actualizing the rights of marginalized groups and promoting systemic equity in legal education and the profession. Under her leadership, Dickinson Law’s Antiracist Development Institute (ADI) was created to facilitate the dismantling of structures that scaffold systemic racial inequality by using a systems design approach focused on implementing antiracist practices, processes, and policies throughout organizations. Dean Conway is the co-recipient of the inaugural AALS Impact Award, which recognized her work in co-curating the Law Deans Antiracist Clearinghouse Project, a webpage for law deans, faculty, and the public that contains resources and information related to addressing systemic racism in law and legal education. Dean Conway is an elected member of the American Law Institute (ALI), a member of the AALS Executive Committee, and a director of the AccessLex Institute. She is also a 27-year veteran of the U.S. Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps, retiring in the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
