Volunteer with Klekamp College of Law
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with the Klekamp College of Law. Alumni like you provide our students with vital personal and professional development opportunities.
Please review the following ways you can get involved with the college and register using the online form if you would like to volunteer for any of the opportunities described here. Many opportunities are driven by student demand, so you will be contacted as activities become available.
Contact Shelley Johnson, Klekamp College of Law alumni liaison, or 513-556-6154 with questions about getting involved.
Registered Student Organizations are always looking for opportunities to connect with talented alumni who can share their professional experiences, areas of practice, and insights into the Cincinnati legal community.
If you’re interested in serving as a panelist or sharing your expertise with current students through a networking, industry, or practice-area panel, we’d love to hear from you. Contact us to learn more or express your interest.
Donate your lightly used professional clothing to our Career Closet for law students in need. When a student picks an outfit, it is theirs to keep. We ask that attire is clean, free of tears, stains, loose thread, and style appropriate. Ideally, it’s fresh from the drycleaners, but at minimum, it’s wrinkle free, ready to go on our racks for our students. We accept clothing, shoes, and accessories. Donations can also merit a tax receipt.
Do you still have your hooding regalia? If so, we are also collecting UC Law hooding regalia (gowns and hoods only) to keep on hand for students to borrow for their special day. We welcome donations of gowns and hoods. Students have the opportunity to check these items out from the Student Bar Association without having to purchase the full set. Donations can also merit a tax receipt.
If you're interested in donating clothing items, please have them dry cleaned prior to dropping off at the Student Affairs front desk, Suite 210. For more information please contact Rudy Trejo.
Counsel a prospective student and let them know how the Klekamp College of Law can help them forge their professional career. Throughout the year, there are opportunities to serve as speakers and table hosts during admissions events.
Dinner with Bearcats is an opportunity for UC alumni to host UC students or fellow UC alumni for an evening of networking and socializing. Alumni interact with their guests and are able to inspire and engage with the next generation of Bearcat leaders.
Promote, attend and assist at alumni or fundraising events on or off campus. Examples of events in need of alumni volunteers include: Law Alumni Networking Socials, Annual Alumni Reunion, and Klekamp College of Law Distinguished Alumni Luncheon.
If you know of an internship or full-time opportunity within your company or organization, these positions can be shared on-campus to help connect our students.
As an alumnus, you know firsthand how a Klekamp College of Law education prepares you for the legal profession. Why not bring another Bearcat on board at your company?
