The Environmental and Land Use Law Program and the Center for Career Development are co-sponsoring a series of calls with UF Law alumni to help students prepare for careers in environmental and land use law and develop job search and career development strategies targeted for these fields. These calls are open to all students and are intended to provide a chance to learn about careers in environmental law, how to prepare for a career in these fields, and concrete steps to take toward developing a career.
The first call, on Monday, Jan. 31, from 1-1:50 p.m., will feature UF Law alums who are employed with two federal agencies working on environmental issues: the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Navy. Both are civilian jobs — one working on wetlands regulation and permitting and the other on a wide array of issues including compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
Our second call in the series, on Thursday, Feb. 10, from 1-1:50 p.m., will feature UF Law alumni whose collective experience includes work with a private law firm, a corporate in-house law department, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the nonprofit group Earthjustice, as well as experience as a judicial law clerk.
Take advantage of this opportunity to hear from these alumni and ask questions. Participation will be limited to 25 students per call. Students can register for one or both calls by contacting Lena Hinson at elulp@law.ufl.edu.
