Our Alumni Association is committed to actively working with current students to provide guidance, support and assistance with employment placement. Throughout the year the Office of Career Opportunities works with the Alumni Association to coordinate social receptions and speaking engagements to facilitate the networking opportunities for our students.
The Director of Career Opportunities and Development is available to alumni for counseling and advice on all phases of career and placement activity. The Director provides assistance with resume preparation, job search strategy, and interviewing skills. A library of placement resources is maintained for both students and alumni. The Career Opportunities Office also holds panels and programs in which various practitioners and alumni discuss their particular type of practice, both traditional and non-traditional. The office also participates in job fairs. Graduates are kept apprised of current job openings via an online Job Bulletin. The Office of Career Opportunities will work with employers to refer resumes of experienced alumni/ae seeking job changes. Networking opportunities are strong and plentiful due to a strong sense of camaraderie at NIU College of Law.
