In honor of National Mentoring Month, the Florida State University College of Law has ramped up efforts in January to strengthen student and alumni connections through mentorship initiatives.

Research shows that having a mentor brings many benefits, like greater job satisfaction and faster career growth, with many saying a mentor helped them succeed.

“We have been working to further enhance our already extensive mentorship programming through the platform FSU Law Connect in order to ensure that all of our students can benefit from having the best possible career mentors,” said Erin O’Hara O’Connor, dean of the FSU College of Law. “For our students, mentorship from seasoned attorneys provides invaluable guidance, offering professional advice, professional identity growth and increased personal connection to the broader legal community.”
