JMMP Summer Happy Hour

 Joint Minority Mentorship Program

Summer Happy Hour Social

Wednesday, July 24th at 5:30pm – Stoup (Capitol Hill)

The Joint Minority Mentorship Program is hosting a summer happy hour social at Stoup with its newest Minority Bar Association partner organization, Filipino Lawyers of Washington (FLOW). FLOW’s generosity and the generosity of the Foster Garvey law firm will provide appetizers and one drink for the event. 

Students should feel free to use this as an opportunity to meet up with your mentor or mentee and/or to meet other mentor/mentee pairs. If you are interested in JMMP but are not currently paired with a mentee or mentor, you're invited too! There is no formal agenda or speaker, just an opportunity to enjoy the summer weather and meet with other lawyers and law students in the community. 

*There is 2- and 4-hour street parking and pay lots are available nearby and the brewery is 4 blocks from the Capitol Hill Station of the Link Light Rail and 1 block from the Broadway and Pike Station of the First Hill Streetcar Line.

Questions can be directed to Christina Fogg, JMMP Co-Chair
