Faculty & Staff
We recognize how many career-related questions can come up when you are advising students. While you can always refer a student to our office, we also encourage advisors to take advantage of the multiple resources available to you as a faculty and staff member at the University. To get started, you may want to familiarize yourself with:
Major-to-Career Pathways – Our goal is for students to better understand what they will gain through the study of various disciplines, the competencies they will develop, and the career pathways alumni have gone onto from these majors.
Exploratory Community – This Career Community focuses on helping students to identify options related to some of the more typical questions you might hear like ‘what career should I consider?’, ‘what should I major in?’, and ‘what can I do with that major?’. Students should be encouraged to explore and join any of the career communities that interest them.
Handshake – All faculty and staff can request a student account to access this career exploration, job and internship posting, and employer connection tool.

Parents & Families
Parents and Families are important to a student’s experience at Rochester. You can strengthen connections with your student by:
- Encouraging them to explore job and internship opportunities within Handshake.
- Motivating them to start building their network within the UR community through The Meliora Collective.
- Helping them understand the importance of career exploration and advising through 1:1 appointments and drop-in hours at the Greene Center.
