Hosting Dr Grace Ononiwu CBE

event, they were reluctant to let her leave – gathering round her to ask more questions.

Afterwards we held a careers fair for the Law School students, encouraging them to be open-minded about their futures. The employers attending included law firms, as well as the CPS, police, prison service, charities including Centrepoint and HACRO, Dispute Resolution Ombudsman and Herts County Council. It was very satisfying to receive feedback from the representatives of these organisations that UH students were inquisitive, appreciative and wellprepared.

The students themselves had a great day, finally being able to mix with their peers and staff at a face-to-face event and having the opportunity to take a moment to properly consider their journey so far, and what their future path should be. These are just a few comments we received from students who attended:

“Best event I’ve attended in my time at UH”

“Thank you to all the team members for setting up online teams talks which take place at campus as it gives us opportunity to be part of it despite of our other commitments. Today’s Grace talk was very inspiring!”

“Thank you so so very much for such an amazing opportunity and an incredible day and evening.”

We are now keen to hold more in-person events! If any of your firms are interested in attending future career events at the University, please contact our Director of Employability Julie Manson (j.a.manson@herts.ac.uk)
