Connections: A Dynamic Networking Event for Students
and Graduates |
|
| Connections
provides students with an informal opportunity
to talk with our alumni/ae about a broad range
of career options. |
|
The law school's annual career networking event for students is scheduled for February 15, 2007, from 6 to 8 p.m.; it will be hosted by Bingham McCutchen.
Each year the number of alumni/ae participating increases and we appreciate the support. This year we are partnering with the Office of Career Services and offering the opportunity to all NUSL students.
Connections provides students with an informal opportunity to talk with our alumni/ae about a broad range of career options and it is a great way for graduates to meet current students.
Earlier in February, as a precursor to this event and
as part of our mentoring program, we will offer a panel
presentation to students. The panel, “How to Make
the Most of Your Networking Opportunities,” will
feature Gary Klein '76, president, Klein, Landau & Romm;
Dan Jackson '97, director, attorney development, Bingham
McCutchen; and Carolyn Hebsgard, executive director,
Boston Lawyers Group.
Please call 617-373-8268 to register for Connections today. |
