Employment Resources & Guidelines

As a faculty or staff member, you are often approached with amazing career opportunities and asked to make personal recommendations. While your heart is in the right place by fulfilling this request, you are potentially putting the university at risk. It is recommended that employers post career opportunities via Handshake allowing fair access to all students. Below are resources that detail how you can support the career aspirations of your students by working collaboratively with the Center for Career Development.
