St. Thomas Law Students Serving as Mentors to Undergraduate Students

Members of the St. Thomas Law student body have stepped up to serve as mentors to students in undergraduate degree programs at St. Thomas University. The program is sponsored by St. Thomas University's Career Services Department and St. Thomas University School of Law.

The objective of this shadowing/mentoring program is to expose undergrads to the law school experience.  The mentors, who are primarily second and third year law students, will be shadowed for an entire day - taking mentees to their classes and showing them a day in the life of a law student.
The program attempts to tailor each mentee's experience to focus on the specific area of the law that interests them.

During the mentoring process, our law students give mentees class preparation techniques, highlight the importance of time-management, and provide real insight into what it takes to successfully enter and excel in law school.

At the conclusion of each mentoring relationship, it is the hope that undergraduate participants will have developed a foundation on which to grow their interest in legal careers.
