We Hope To See You Next Week! Non-Profit, Government & Public Interest Week

We hope you will participate in Non-Profit, Government, and Public Interest Firm Week. It can be a great way to find your next job and make connections.

If you have accepted a position, congratulations! Please email us or just stop by the office. We may ask you to be a resource for other students interested in your employer and we can help you connect to alumni in your city. You should still participate next week. You will have the opportunity to explore issues you are passionate about and ways that you will be able to give back to your community throughout your career. Organizations are eager to talk with you about their mission. You may find new issues you want to support!

Let us know if you will join any of the discussion groups or the Forum here. We need to let the organizations know who to expect. We know they will be impressed with the commitment of WashULaw students.
