Public Interest Speed Networking
The Office of Career and Professional Development invites all 2Ls and 3Ls to join us for the Second Annual WCL Public Interest Speed Networking Event Tuesday, September 23rd from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. in the sixth floor dining area. Registration is limited, so sign up today by going to the "Events" page on CareerLink.
During the speed networking rounds, students will visit with attorneys who are grouped by practice area. A reception will follow, providing further opportunities for conversations with practitioners.
Speed Networking is a great opportunity to learn from and network with attorneys working for government agencies or with public interest organizations, including many WCL alumni. Some of these attorneys will conduct interviews later in the year at the Equal Justice Works Career Fair and/or the Greater DC/Baltimore Public Service Career Fair.
