CDO hosts both interview programs and educational programs each year to provide students with a breadth of knowledge and opportunities across industries and practice areas.
Examples of CDO programs from past years include:
- The Public Interest Celebration where students, alumni, and faculty come together to socialize, build community, and reflect upon what it means to work in the public interest;
- The Heyman Colloquium which brings back current Heyman Fellows to discuss their federal government experiences;
- The Meet the Firms event at which first-year students meet with attorneys from 30-35 firms all on one evening;
- Numerous business-related programs through which students learned about business opportunities for lawyers, such as consulting and finance opportunities;
- Judicial clerkships programs showcasing faculty, alumni, and 3L panelists as well as programming on the clerkship-application process;
- The Mentors in Residence program, through which dozens of alumni return to the Law School to meet individually with interested students to discuss career paths;
- The Mock Interview Program, which partners students with alumni to enhance students’ interview skills.
Panelists for many CDO programs include practitioners from across the country and around the world. In addition to providing students with information about career paths, these programs are an excellent way to make connections with alumni who may be helpful in the future.
CDO also welcomes the opportunity to co-sponsor events with student organizations. If you are interested in co-sponsoring an event with CDO, email CDO.
