Information for Faculty & Staff

You, Your Expertise, and Support Matters to Students!

Faculty and staff play an integral role in student success and career readiness. Our goal at the Center for Career & Life Planning is to share resources and partner with you in designing and integrating high-impact career preparation curricular and co-curricular experiences that support students and alumni professional growth. Through Handshake, our career platform, we offer faculty and staff access to all resources available to students so you may refer to them in advising sessions and in class. You may access Handshake through Okta or this direct link with your Rollins credentials.

Invite Us to Your Class, Department or Organization Meeting

The Center for Career & Life Planning staff members are ready to visit with your students and colleagues. We are prepared to conduct presentations and discussions on career planning, self-assessment, major selection, NACE career competency development and articulation, internships, job search, graduate school, and much more.
