The Career Services Office welcomes partnering with student organizations to provide career services-related panels and events. Student leaders interested in co-sponsoring an event should submit a written request to the Director of Career Services including: (1) a brief description of the event, (2) how the student organization would like the CSO to support them, and (3) if any funding is being requested, the student leader should provide how much is remaining in the student organization's budget. The CSO can provide up to $75 per event, but funding is provided on a first-come-first-serve basis and also takes into consideration the ability of the organization to pay and the activity level of the organization.
We can request, on your behalf, access to the job boards and career serevices of other ABA-Accredited Law Schools outside of the Southern California region for limited periods of time. Please contact the Recruitment Coordinator to request reciprocity.
