Out About
Alumni-student initiatives provide meaningful opportunities Alumni engage with students in significant ways every day. Influential programs like Job Shadow Week and 3L/4L Mentorship positively impact the professional development of our students and strengthen alumni relationships with Seattle U Law. On April 14, we brought together the 2014-15 mentor/mentee pairs for a free CLE and reception to thank the nearly 100 alumni who volunteered and to provide another mentorship opportunity to connect. Pictured are Jody Cloutier ’15, a senior program manager at Microsoft with an interest in family law, with his mentor, Amy Franklin-Bihary ’04, a family law attorney with Wechsler Becker.
Sidebar Happy Hours connect communities The South Sound alumni community gathered in downtown Tacoma on April 22 for a Sidebar Happy Hour where we honored local judicial members Judge Gretchen Leanderson ’87, Judge Frank Cuthbertson ’93, Judge Helen Whitener ’98 (see page 26), Prof. John Strait and Prof. Laurel Oates ’78. Attendees (pictured above) were Lynn Rainey ’07, Sheryl Colvin ’98, Dean of Admissions Carol Cochran, and prospective student Ramona Nabors. Watch our website for more Sidebar Happy Hour events this fall.
We are excited to announce that the 3L/4L mentorship program will be entering its third year this fall. If you would like more information, please contact lawalumni@seattleu.edu.
Seattle U Law journals’ spring celebrations Seattle U Law has a rich history of honoring achievement and recognizing excellence within our community. Each spring before classes end and final exams begin, we celebrate the accomplishments of the three student-run publications and all the ways in which students enhance and enrich the law school.
