The 1L Diversity Career Fair will showcase legal employers that are sponsoring a 1L diversity fellowship, internship, or summer associate program (“1L Diversity Opportunity”) for summer 2016. 1Ls may apply for summer 2016 positions beginning December 1; therefore, no resumes will be circulated during the Career Fair. Most diversity program deadlines will follow the exam period. Dress is business casual, and snacks and beverages will be served.
Why attend?
- To learn about 20+ employers’ 1L Diversity Opportunities and their application processes in an efficient “one stop” manner.
- To develop short and long-term networking contacts, some of whom may become mentors. Networking is the number one way that students secure employment outside of the traditional on-campus recruiting channels.
- To meet major employers in an informal setting prior to Early Interview Week and the 2016 Fall recruitment season.
To date, we have secured the following employer participants* and we anticipate more!
