Have you heard of speed networking? Well, this is speed mentoring! Over the course of an hour, students will change seats and mentors every six minutes, gathering information and advice from alumni in practice. Interested alumni and students are asked to complete a short questionnaire about their background, career experiences, interests, and aspirations. The answers gathered from the survey will be compiled into information sheets that the alumni and students can exchange with one another. More than a business card, but shorter than a resume, these information sheets will allow you to stay connected to those you have met.
While all current students are invited to participate, the majority of students who elect to take part are 1Ls who are typically interested in speaking with early to mid-career lawyers who have recent experience entering and navigating the job market.
If you’re interested in participating as a mentor, please contact [email protected] for more information and a link to fill out the sign-up survey. The deadline to sign-up is Wednesday, August 27 at midnight (EDT).
