Student Groups
The JD/MBA Students’ Association (JMSA)
Bringing together current students with alumni who are launched in their careers, the JD/MBA Students’ Association hosts networking events, conferences and other activities to help everyone support one another and stay connected. One of the association’s key initiatives is the peer-to-peer mentorship program, in which upper-year students provide insights, guidance and support to mentees who are just beginning the program. The students, with support from our Program Directors, host an annual Business and Law Conference, featuring a Keynote Speaker and Panelists representing industry leaders, legal experts, and business professionals as they converge to explore an important topic at the intersection of law and business.
