The Graduate Career Services team will be on different in-person and virtual schedules during the fall semester for appointments to minimize the amount of staff in our office on any given day due to the current health situation. Virtual appointments will also be available on days staff are in the office. You can schedule appointments and view Liz's availability through our career management system "Handshake". Feel free to email her directly if you have any questions or are having any challenges with finding times in the system. If you choose to meet in-person, please make sure to view the new Graduate Career Services appointment protocol for in-person appointments. Liz's schedule starting the week of February 1st (2021) is below. Check Handshake for her current availability:
- Mondays - Virtual Only
