MBA's Tiered Community Mentoring Program celebrates the holiday season at Suffolk University Law School
On Tuesday, Dec. 4, Massachusetts Bar Association Tiered
Community Mentoring Program participants celebrated the program's
first annual holiday event at Suffolk University Law School.
Currently in its fourth year, the MBA's Tiered Community Mentoring
program matches selected students, who are interested in
law-related careers, with an attorney mentor. As part of this
innovative program, students from New Mission High School, Roxbury
Community College and Suffolk University Law School have had the
opportunity this year to meet accomplished professionals, as well
as attend court proceedings and bar association events to learn
networking skills.
Over 30 mentors and mentees attended the event. In addition to the
social aspect of the event, three attorneys spoke to the attendees
about their various personal and professional experiences
throughout their careers.
Event speakers included:
- Serge Georges Jr., Esq., Law Office of Serge
Georges Jr., Randolph;
- Nicole G. Price, Esq., director for Diversity,
Inclusiveness and Affinity Relations at Suffolk University Law
School; and
- Jennifer C. Rowe, Esq., assistant district
attorney, Norfolk District Attorney's Office.
