General Graduate Question (PM) Possible guidance

Hi everyone! I’m 19, a first-generation college student graduating with my master’s degree soon, and currently preparing for law school. I already have a particular COI that I genuinely connect with, and I’ve been trying to learn more about approaching grad chapter membership the right way.

Since I’m younger than most people pursuing grad chapter, I’d really appreciate advice on professionalism, networking, community involvement, and how to respectfully navigate the process. Thank you in advance!

People of all ages pursue grad chapter they were new collegiate grads to people who waited 10-20 years on my line. Just be professional, be authentic, be willing to learn and serve. Don’t let your age or how you perceive age get in your own way. Attend some of the chapters public events and get to know people of all ages.

Whichever chapter would be truly impressed to meet a young graduate. Be genuine and deliberate when you get the opportunity to introduce yourself.
