A WARM WELCOME
USC Gould’s annual Mentor Lunch can be a pivotal experience for first-year students who are just beginning to explore the legal profession, offering an opportunity to learn from alumni who can offer a helpful perspective from someone who has “been there.”
In March, Town and Gown was filled to capacity when nearly 400 alumni and students arrived for this year’s lunchtime event, a beloved annual law school tradition that pairs 1Ls and 2L transfer students with alumni attorneys working in the areas where the students have a professional interest.
“We have lawyers here today representing Big Law, entertainment companies, the district attorney’s office, public interest advocacy groups, among others,” said Dean Andrew Guzman. “Essentially, whatever you want to do with your degree, we’ve got you covered.”
Guzman noted that the event consistently draws alumni, who are busy with their careers, back to campus year after year. “Every one of the nearly 200 alumni who are here today had something else to do, or some other obligations. Yet they prioritized being here, which provides us with an incredible asset,” said Guzman.
Don’t miss next year’s Mentor Lunch, scheduled for Feb. 28, 2018.
