For the first time, winter on-campus interviews took place virtually, in January. More than 180 2Ls and 3Ls participated, and according to Associate Dean and Dean of Career Services Betsy Armour, hiring results from Winter OCI and related hiring activities were very strong with more than 50% of the class securing large law firm jobs through the program — comparable to pre-pandemic outcomes.

“I’m so proud of the CSO team and our students especially for adapting swiftly and positively to this changed landscape,” Armour says.
