Alumni Mentors
In Wake Forest Law’s Alumni Mentoring Program, alumni from across the country are paired with 1L students to help them adjust to law school and better prepare for a career in law or in any profession. This support from our graduates not only helps students make better career choices, it builds life-long connections between the students, alumni, and the Wake Forest School of Law.
The mentors are asked to communicate with the student by email with the goal to include support for the following:
- Career development opportunities.

- Long-term relationship with Wake Forest law school.
