Looking Back<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Looking Forward<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On the evening of January 28th<\/sup>, we\u2019ll host Mentorship Program Spring Semester Kickoff at the law school.\u00a0 Students can join their mentors and learn about launching and fulfilling their career path and goals. We\u2019ll have beverages, appetizers, and good conversation. This event is also intended to complement career-related events in the spring by giving students information about how to start their career and meet their career-related goals.<\/p>\n
