For the first time, the Notre Dame Law School Career Development Office will partner with the SBA CDO Committee to host a series of panels focusing on specific markets led by current students who’ve landed summer or post-graduation positions, to help 1L and 2L students to learn from their peers.
“Sometimes it’s most effective and relatable to hear from a person that’s just experienced this in the last year,” said Vincent Versagli, CDO director. “Every market is a little bit different. In doing this, we hope to give students a concrete idea of what to expect and how to be successful.”
The 11 panels will span a little more than two weeks and will focus on markets in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Chicago, Denver, southern California, San Francisco, Texas, Pittsburgh, New York City, and Washington, D.C. A CDO staff member will help moderate each student panel, and staff members are always available for one-on-one career counseling, as well.
“The summer is a really important time in a student’s job search, and we want them to make the most of it,” Versagli said. “We want them to see that you can use the summer in a productive way to advance your career goals.”
All panels will start as 12:30 p.m.
