In an office hours model, students can sign up for a 20-minute Zoom appointment with visiting alumni to ask specific career questions or to simply solicit general advice from someone who has walked in your shoes. Find a match with your career interests or take advantage of this chance to explore a new practice area or job sector.

Students must reserve appointments in advance, and space is limited. Review the calendar below for upcoming AIR events and more information on visiting alumni.
