The College of Law provides support to employers seeking to engage and hire our students and alumni. Whether you're looking to build a new relationship with Syracuse students, strengthen an already existing partnership, or simply fill your hiring needs, a call to our office is a step in the right direction. We are happy to connect you with students through participation on a panel, conducting on-campus interviews, collecting resumes, posting an internship or job opportunity, or sponsoring a career-related event.
Employers are welcome to submit employment opportunities on our 12Twenty CSM. 12Twenty has replaced our old Symplicity system. Please register to hire a paid intern, volunteer intern or extern (for academic credit), or post-graduate position. You will be able to add/update postings and control how your position is advertised.
We are happy to collect application materials from students for your open positions. Should you wish to interview students at the College of Law, we have several interview rooms and will coordinate your interview schedule. We are also able to help coordinate virtual interviews as you see fit.
If you would like us to collect your application materials, but you prefer to select and schedule interviews at your convenience, we also offer a Resume Collect option. Please feel free to call us at 315.443.1941 or email lawcareer@syr.edu to discuss your hiring needs.
