A community committed to student success
Our powerful network of 20,000 alumni around the world is a tremendous benefit to our students.
Every successful journey is guided by someone who has walked the path before. At Mitchell Hamline, our mentorship program connects law students with experienced alumni and other practitioners for advice on navigating law school and guidance in exploring career opportunities and seeking and celebrating professional success.
Our alumni and volunteer practitioners are available to connect with students either in-person or remotely and many provide additional opportunities to gain legal experience and exposure through informational interviews, job shadows, and externship or residency work experiences.
Mitchell Hamline Mentorship Program
The Mitchell Hamline program is designed to provide meaningful, one-on-one support that empowers participants to reach their full potential. Mitchell Hamline students can connect with alumni who will assist students in exploring the work that lawyers do in their particular field, expanding students’ professional networks, identifying opportunities for students to observe lawyers at work, and discussing strategies for students to gain relevant work experience and build their professional brand.
The program also provides our alumni with a sense of belonging and contribution to the school while building their professional network, strengthening their leadership skills, and enhancing their professional reputation.
