Akron Law Mentors

We hope your summer is going well!

We are preparing to welcome our new 1L members of Akron Law the week of August 24, and we need your help.  We have a large class of students starting law school this year.  You have been through one or more years of law school, and your experience is invaluable to someone just starting law school.

Please consider being a mentor.  It will not take a lot of your time.  The main purpose is for you to be there for a new 1L to call, someone they can talk to when they arrive.

Though would like to have mentors attend the Orientation Dinner on August 24, 5:30 – 8:00 pm to meet their mentee if possible, you may be a mentor without attending the dinner.

With the larger class of incoming students, we need nearly all of our upper division students to be a mentor. If you are considering whether or not to be a mentor and have any questions, please contact Assistant Dean Ivy Banks at ikw1@uakron.edu.

Please email Mary Cooke at mec@uakron.edu if you can be a mentor, and also whether you can attend the Orientation Dinner.  Thank you!
