Our Gambrell-Award-winning Campus to Career conference for all students (1L, 2L, 3L, 4L) will be hosted on campus on January 30, 2026.  Last year’s program saw record student participation with the addition of the Law Practice Mentors networking session in the Advocacy Center.  About 125 lawyers from around the region, representing a wide variety of practice areas joined us for hours of networking, information exchange, and introductions. 

This year, we are expanding access to mentors and information about careers by working with student organizations to offer more focused meet-and-greets and informational meetings between students and lawyers interested in the same practice areas. We are using more of the campus and expanding offerings, giving you more choices and opportunities to meet influencers and mentors, and to ask the questions you want to ask.

We want to empower you on many fronts:

  • Build your network. Campus to Career will make you aware of the campus, job, and social opportunities on the immediate horizon and beyond. This is especially important if you are a first-generation law student.
  • Get insights on career and personal growth. You will learn strategies for building confidence and resilience for the challenges ahead, with advice and tips from seasoned pros. 
  • Get ready for the challenges ahead. You will be inspired to launch the spring semester with renewed energy, to build on your first semester’s foundation of strength and growth. We timed this conference to get everyone off to a productive start.
