Alumni Mentor Program (AMP)

USF Law recruits a diverse group of mentors that range in practice area, industry, affinity group, and experience level to support students as they navigate law school and post degree careers.

Program Overview

USF Law's Alumni Mentor Program connects students with alumni across practice areas, industries, and experience levels, providing guidance as they navigate law school and build their careers.

Mentors serve as a professional resource, answering questions, sharing insight on practice norms, and offering support at whatever stage a student is in their journey. The law school matches mentors and mentees based on goals and preferences each mentee identifies in their program profile.

The USF Law community is known for its supportive and inclusive spirit — one where alumni reach back to uplift the next generation as they embark on their legal careers. We hope you'll consider being part of that tradition.

For Alumni Mentors

Sharing your experience helps students navigate the path from law school to practice — whether over coffee, discussing a practice area, or offering job search advice. Your participation strengthens the USF Law community.
