ALUMNI CHAPTERS

ALUMNI MENTORING

There are 13 Alumni Chapters across the country that provide a local presence and opportunities for alumni to stay connected to each other and to their school. Alumni Chapters regularly plan networking and social events during the summer or while current students are home for the holidays so they can attend and network with local attorneys. Chapter leaders travel back to campus once a year or are present via Skype to host small group events with students and answer any questions about practicing in their area.

Students have full access to an online Alumni Directory and may also make an appointment with the Alumni Relations Office to connect with a graduate who can answer any questions they have about practicing in a particular geographic region or practice area. Alumni regularly meet with students or recent graduates and help them acclimate to their new legal community. Alumni also host mentoring events for first-year students on campus or at their firm to answer any questions they may have about how to succeed in law school and what they can do as students to ensure post-graduate success.
