Connections: A Dynamic Networking Event for Students
and Graduates |
|
| This
year we are partnering with the Office of Career
Services and offering the opportunity to all NUSL
students, rather than just first years. |
|
The
law school’s annual career networking event for
students is scheduled for Feb. 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,
rather than just first years.
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.
On Feb. 8, 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 Dan
Jackson ’97, director, attorney development, Bingham
McCutchen; Gary Klein ’76, president, Klein, Landau
& Romm; and Carolyn Hebsgaard, executive director,
Boston Lawyers Group.
Please call 617-373-8268 to register for Connections
today. |
