The University of Houston (UH) Law Center Career Development Office (CDO) hosts numerous recruiting, networking, and training events throughout the year. These events are often made possible through the time and generosity of alumni, employers, and legal professionals who are committed to supporting your career journey.
To maintain the integrity of CDO events and foster student professionalism, we ask all students to confirm attendance in advance of events by submitting an RSVP. RSVP is an initialism derived from the French phrase "Répondez s'il vous plaît", meaning "Please respond.” In the legal profession, it is standard etiquette to notify event hosts whether or not you plan to attend. If you intend to participate, RSVP “yes.” If you do not plan to attend, RSVP “no.” Should your availability change, please update your RSVP promptly to reflect your new plans.
To maintain access to CDO events, students must follow RSVP policies set forth below:
(1) Professional Courtesy
(2) Only RSVP if You Plan to Attend
(3) Cancellations Must Be Timely
(4) No-Show Consequences
UH Law Center students and alumni in violation may lose access to CDO resources and services, as noted in the CDO Access Policy here.
By RSVPing to an event, you agree to uphold this policy and demonstrate the professionalism expected in the legal profession.
If you have any questions or extenuating circumstances, please contact the CDO as soon as possible.
