Career Counseling
The Career Services Office helps students create a personalized strategy to identify and achieve their career goals. From 1L specific programming to mock interviews, practice specific panels, and one on one coaching, our team meets students where they are to meet their needs.
Responsible Lawyering
The Career Services Office partners with the Academic Excellence Program to present career development programming during the 1L Responsible Lawyering Class. These innovative and interactive sessions cover important topics to meet the CSO mission of preparing students for professional excellence. Topics covered include resume and cover letter writing, 1L Summer job searching, networking and perfecting needed communication skills. The Fall sessions end with a capstone event in November bringing together over 200 alumni for an evening of networking and connecting, and in the Spring the program includes sessions on Interviewing Best practices.
