Want to Speak to Students About Careers?
On behalf of the Student Bar Association Career Development Office Committee, we would like to extend an invitation to any Notre Dame lawyers who would be interested in speaking on a career panel before a home football game this fall. The panel will be hosted at the law school and lunch will be provided. This will be a great opportunity for current law students to meet you and to learn about various career paths and is open to any and all practice areas and job sectors. The panel will be held either on the Friday before the NC State game (October 28th) or the Wake Forest game (November 4th). If you are interested, please fill out the google form here, and we will reach out to you shortly. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Alec Farrell, Student Bar Association Career Development Office Committee Chair, at afarrel2@nd.edu, or Vinny Versagli, Director of Career Development, at vversagl@nd.edu.
