ASCK Week 2017 Job Shadowing

REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED!

Job shadowing opportunities allow students to shadow an alumnus/a anywhere from a couple of hours to an entire day. You might go to an attorney’s office to observe meetings or depositions or go to court to sit in on hearings or trials.

You may only sign up for ONE shadowing opportunity and we recommend signing up for something that is closely aligned with your interests. Once registration is complete, you will be given the contact information for the alumnus/a you will shadow so you can coordinate the specific date and time with him/her for the shadowing experience. The date/time will be mutually arranged between the student and alum - it does not necessarily have to take place during ASCK Week. Some of the opportunities have schedule dates.
