Public Interest/Public Sector (PI/PS) (September-January)
The Public Interest/Public Sector (PIPS) Mentors Program is a collaborative effort between the Alumni Engagement Office and the Career Development Office. Our goal for this mentoring program is to connect Berkeley Law alumni with a 1L student who is interested in Public Interest/Public Sector work and provide these students with mentors to assist them with their job and fellowship search efforts with non-profit organizations, NGOs, and government agencies. Alumni mentors register in September and are matched with a student in October via the Berkeley Law Connect platform. Mentors are asked to meet with their mentees in October to discuss the student’s career objectives; a second check-in meeting takes place in January.
