ARE YOU IN A POSITION TO HIRE OR REFER AN OPPORTUNITY?
One of Northwestern Law’s greatest strengths is our strong sense of community. The Center for Career Strategy and Advancement is seeking your help. Due to the soft economy, a number of students are still looking for summer, part-time, and permanent employment. If you are in a position to hire a student or refer an opportunity, please contact Shonagh Aylsworth, Assistant Dean for Career Strategy. Additional information on our student population and formal recruitment programs is available from the Career Strategy Center. Any assistance you can provide is greatly appreciated.
