CLWA 1L Summer Job Panel
Monday, October 24th, 2011
12:10 PM in JG 105
Join the Columbia Law Women's Association for summer job advice from 2Ls and 3Ls and hear all about their summer job experiences. Non-pizza lunch will be served!
CLWA will be holding a panel geared toward 1Ls with 2Ls and 3Ls talking about their 1L summer job experiences. This will be a wonderful opportunity to get students' perspectives on how to find a great summer job, when to start looking and applying, and how to decide what area you want to try out over the summer if you are unsure about it. At the end of that panel, we will distribute a list of where the panelists worked during their 1L summer and their contact information, so you can reach out if you are interested in learning more about their experience!
