Without Mitchell Hamline, I never would\u2019ve been able to do what I\u2019ve done in my professional career.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There are many ways for members of the community to give back to Mitchell Hamline. Alumni can <a href=\"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/alumni\/mentoring\/mentorship-registration\/\">give their time<\/a> 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 <a href=\"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/giving\/gratitudeform\/\">make a gift<\/a> to Mitchell Hamline.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI 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,\u201d said Angela Marie Smith, a current 3L student. \u201cThank you for empowering me to step into my future with clarity, confidence, and conviction!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/giving\/gratitude\/\">Day of Gratitude<\/a>.
