Mitchell Hamline School of Law is holding its first-ever Day of Gratitude on Dec. 10, closing a year of celebrating its 125-year anniversary with a day filled with appreciation and generosity. The day will bring together students, faculty, staff, alumni, and supporters to share stories of how the law school has impacted their lives and support future generations of law students.
For Professor Mike Steenson, Mitchell Hamline has been his life. “I’ve given this law school pretty much everything I have for a long, long time,” he said. “I think it’s really important for people to give back to the law school that’s given so much to them. Without Mitchell Hamline, I never would’ve been able to do what I’ve done in my professional career.”
There are many ways for members of the community to give back to Mitchell Hamline. Alumni can give their time to serve as a mentor to current students, conduct mock interviews, provide job shadows, host externships, and participate in information panels, presentations, and networking events. They can share their story of gratitude or make a gift to Mitchell Hamline.
All gifts made on Day of Gratitude will directly support student scholarships, helping to make legal education possible and creating opportunities for students to hone real-world skills and find their passions.
“I am forever grateful for the investment Mitchell Hamline has made in me and for the space it provides for students to evolve, challenge themselves, and discover their purpose,” said Angela Marie Smith, a current 3L student. “Thank you for empowering me to step into my future with clarity, confidence, and conviction!”
