Firm and Corporate Alumni Challenge
Firms and corporations with three or more Northwestern Law alumni can participate in the Firm & Corporate Alumni Challenge. The program builds upon the incredible generosity of the Northwestern Law community and helps the Law School sustain the quality of its programs and offerings.
The Firm & Corporate Alumni Challenge creates opportunities for alumni to cultivate relationships with fellow alumni at their own firm or corporation and the broader Law School community. Participants in the Challenge receive invitations to exclusive meetings with the dean and events featuring accomplished alumni, students, and faculty members. Firms and corporations benefit by enhancing their visibility at the Law School and increasing their recruitment profile with some of the best students in the country.
Challenge winners in each division secure:
- An exclusive networking reception with 1L students
- Special recognition at On Campus Interviewing
- First right of refusal for select on-campus sponsorship opportunities.
