The Scholars are each paired with an alumni mentor while they are in Washington, D.C. for the summer. The mentors serve as a resource for the students on career planning, professionalism, and how to get the most out of their time in D.C. Since the Program began in 2012, over 50 of our D.C.-based Temple Law alums have volunteered to serve as mentors. Many have served multiple years and some of them were Law & Public Policy Scholars.
