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

Rather than formal pairings, AMP operates as a flexible network of alumni who are open to connecting directly with students who share similar interests or practice areas. With your permission, we will share your contact information with interested students, who can then reach out directly for advice, conversations, or mentorship throughout the year.

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.

To join the mentor network, email the Office of Career Services.
