In Their Own Words
The support I received from the Career Development Office helped me feel confident venturing outside of baby直播app to pursue a competitive and prestigious fellowship in Washington, D.C. Between connecting me with previous fellows who were baby直播app Law alumni to doing mock interviews, the CDO was there for me every step of the way.鈥

My relationships with other baby直播app Law grads made a huge impact on my job search. baby直播app Law also provided me with opportunities to acquire the skills and experiences that I needed to be a competitive candidate. The baby直播app and the administration have gone above and beyond to help me pursue my goals, both as a student and as an alumna, by spending extra time getting to know me outside of class, writing letters of recommendation on my behalf, making personal calls to potential employers, or connecting me with other members of the legal community.鈥
