The Office of Student Affairs has teamed up with the Office of Alumni Relations and the Law Alumni Association to launch a new mentorship program! Because we are currently in the pilot phase, we have opened the program exclusively to our 1L population. We will launch the program to the entire Law School community depending on the success and feedback we receive.
The program has been designed to provide students the ability to connect with alumni mentors for new insights on career paths, academic program choices, and other professional guidance. Beginning next week, you will be able to utilize the Career Services Symplicity platform to search for mentors based on criteria provided from alumni profile data. This program is intended to primarily help build professional relationships and provide guidance, and therefore, you are not permitted to contact mentors in search of a job.
We encourage all 1Ls to take advantage of this great opportunity to build lasting connections. If you are interested in participating, click here for the user guide and here for the program guidelines.
For questions or concerns, please contact the Office of Student Affairs at law.studentaffairs@nyu.edu.
