15 Career & Placement

Alumni and friends of LAEP supported students very generously this year. Eighteen professionals served as mentors and enjoyed the opportunity to get to know a few students, see the high caliber of training they are receiving, and sharing their experience through office visits. Students described visiting their mentor’s firm as the “highlight of the semester” and “greatly appreciated the insight and all the advice and tricks.” One student especially appreciated their mentor introducing other friends in the profession. This year mentors were invited to attend food truck Friday in the fall, and we hope to host more in person events in the future.

Representatives from eighteen companies throughout the West attended the LAEP Virtual Career Fair in February to meet potential employees and interact with over 45 students. Following the career fair, Advancement Board members reviewed portfolios for juniors and grads. During the spring Advancement Board meeting, students had the opportunity to sit down and learn from members about their careers and experiences.

Student and alumni efforts to connect paid off. Graduating students found work across the country from North Carolina to Alaska. Juniors and grad students secured internships in a variety of places, from Texas to Minnesota. Thank you to alumni and friends for sharing job opening announcements and your support of LAEP!
