Interview Programs
CDO conducts two interview programs each year, and public interest and government employers come to recruit YLS students. YLS covers all registration and interview room expenses for public interest employers.

Public Interest Student Career Fair
CDO organizes an annual Public Interest Student Career Fair, at which second- and third-year students who have worked in public interest jobs over the summer share their experiences with interested students. The fair takes place in mid-November and has over 100 student volunteers representing public interest employers. For more information on this fair, contact Robyn Acampora, Pro Bono and Information Manager at 432-7224.
