Student Engagement

Spring 2022

Student-Alumni Mixers

Student-alumni mixers are an opportunity for King Hall alumni to meet and interact with current students, based on practice area or affinity group. Alumni are invited to field questions and share their career experiences with students.

Many, but not all, mixers this semester will remain virtual. Virtual mixers utilize small group sessions to allow for a better flow of conversation in the online format.  

This section will be updated as additional mixers are added to the calendar.

If you are interested in attending a particular student-alumni mixer, please email alumni@law.ucdavis.edu and we will contact you when that mixer date is set.

 

Additional Student Outreach Opportunities

Admissions

Next round begins Spring 2022

King Hall C.A.R.E.S. (Committed to Assist the Recruitment & Enrollment of Students) volunteers help recruit admitted students to the Law School. These volunteers assist the School of Law by speaking with admitted students about their law school experiences, participate on panels, host receptions, and attend recruitment events in their local area in order to extend our reach throughout the country. They also attend functions sponsored by the Offices of Admissions and External Relations such as the Open House for Prospective Applicants, one of the Open Houses for Admitted Students or any of the spring time Alumni & Admitted Students Receptions. In many instances, our alumni and current students are the Law School's best spokespeople. For more information on C.A.R.E.S., contact the Office of Admission at 530.752.6477 or send an e-mail to admissions@law.ucdavis.edu. We need your help!

Career Services

Alumni Involvement

The Offices of Alumni Relations and Career Services are pleased to welcome alumni back to King Hall to participate in career panels and in mentoring roles.

Most law students are faced with the challenges of making major decisions early in their legal education when they may know very little about the legal profession. Alumni can provide the benefit of their knowledge and experience to help students achieve their educational and professional goals. Additionally, we believe that by offering students the opportunity to develop relationships with alumni, we are equipping them with one of the most important tools they will ultimately need as lawyers — the ability to build effective networking relationships.

Alumni are invited to contact the Alumni Relations Office at 530.754.5326 or by e-mail at alumni@law.ucdavis.edu for referral to the Office of Career Services or to be connected with student organizations.

Employment Opportunities

A vitally important role that alumni fill in the King Hall community is that of employment support for our 3L students. Encourage your employer to participate in the School of Law’s On Campus Interview (OCI) program and/or hire UC Davis graduates.

Alumni can also assist Career Services by participating in mock interviews and on panel presentations, especially during the busy fall recruiting season. If you are interested in assisting Career Services, please contact the office at 530.752.6574 or at careerservices@law.ucdavis.edu.

Student Organizations

UC Davis School of Law has a vibrant student body, who are involved in more than 40 student organizations.
