Handshake

Handshake is an online career management system that provides a number of services to Southern’s students and alumni. Handshake is a place where you make appointments with the Life Calling & Career Services counselors, where employers post jobs and internships, as well as where information about career fairs will be posted. It is a great opportunity to leverage Southern’s connections and reputation to your benefit.
