Career Advancement

As you pursue your legal career, Villanova Law’s Office of Career Strategy and Advancement provides core career planning education, recruitment programming and individual counseling to support your professional development. The Career Strategy team partners with students and alumni to identify and help you achieve career goals, while also working with employers from diverse practice sectors and locations to recruit Villanova’s talented students and alumni.

Additional career support includes connecting you with other young Villanova Law alumni through the NovUs chapter and providing attorneys with valuable CLE programming through the Law School’s robust symposia and events.

Get Involved

There are many volunteering opportunities available for alumni to remain involved with the Villanova Law community, get to know current students and give back to the Law School with your time and talents.

Whether it's getting involved with a Regional Chapter encouraging friends and classmates to reconnect as a member of the Reunion Committee, mentoring a student through the Minority Alumni Society or hosting a Villanova extern, alumni volunteers are a crucial part of the Villanova community. Plus, the Villanova Law Alumni Association regularly recognizes outstanding service by our alums through the Alumni Service Awards!
