Career counseling and alumni connections

Planning for life after college doesn’t start senior year. We’ll help you plan for it from day one.

The Career Services and Advising Center, along with your advisor, can help you choose a major that aligns with your interests and goals. As you progress towards graduation, a Career Action Plan will help you target careers and jobs with specific courses and internships.

Handshake

When it’s time to apply for your first job, our online recruiting portal, Handshake, will connect you with employers and alumni in your field. In fact, Handshake is here for you for life — alumni use it to find jobs or switch careers years after graduation.
