Román Hernández, ’92
A nationally recognized labor and employment attorney, Román Hernández is a managing partner in Troutman Pepper’s Portland office. While rising to the top ranks of his profession and earning countless industry accolades, he continued to make time to exercise his profound sense of social responsibility in a state where less than 2% of legal professionals self-identified as Hispanic or Latino. He co-founded the Oregon Hispanic Bar Association and is a past president of the Hispanic National Bar Association, representing the interests of 100,000 Hispanic legal professionals nationwide. Meanwhile, he channeled time and energy into supporting diversity, equity, inclusion and social justice work at OSU. In 2020, he provided critical leadership to the OSU Alumni Association’s effort to revive the OSU Chicano/a Latino/a Alumni Network, now thriving as Vamos OSU.
