Faculty/Staff

How Can Handshake Help You?

There are three ways in which Handshake can benefit faculty/staff:

1.  Does your department have an on-campus internship opportunity available for undergraduate students?

Do you have an opportunity in your department that aligns with an undergraduate major or minor?  Do you have a student employee working for your department whose job description may be approved as an internship for academic credit?

By registering your department as an on-campus employer, you will be able to post/edit your positions and review resumes/applications received.  The Career Center can also assist you by sending targeted emails to a specific group of students (by major/minor, by class year, etc).

If your department is interested in offering an on‑campus internship or would like support in getting started, please contact Patty Taggart at patricia.taggart@millersville.edu or (717) 871-7658 for additional information and guidance.

 
2.  Are you interested in accessing Handshake to facilitate your students' engagement with The Career Center and our employer partners?
 
By having access to Handshake as a faculty/staff member, you will be able to view:
  • Student profiles
  • Active employers that are interested in recruiting MU students
  • Available full-time, internship, and part-time opportunities 
  • Upcoming educational programs hosted by The Career Center
  • Upcoming job & internship fairs and graduate school fairs
  • Employer-hosted recruitment events

For questions, please contact Pauline Diaz at pauline.diaz@millersville.edu or (717) 871-7653.

3.  Do you need access to Handshake "Experiences" as a faculty member?

If you are a Department Internship Coordinator, Faculty Supervisor, Department Chair, or Dean, and need access to view and approve requests submitted by undergraduate students for a credit-bearing internship, please contact Patty Taggart, Assistant Director at patricia.taggart@millersville.edu or (717) 871-7658.
