The following is a sampling of ways to help our office.

• Participate in one of our many programs throughout the year:  Career Education panels, Career Night, Mock Interviews, etc.

• Speak at one of our Pathways to Practice Programs that feature our alumni talking to students about their pathway to practice.

• Hire a Legal Eagle!  Post a job, request resumes, participate in a job fair or on campus interviews (OCI).   Through a variety of experiential learning opportunities (internships, summer associate positions, externships and clinical programs), our students are practice ready.
