Handshake for Graduate Students
Handshake was selected as UW-Madison’s primary recruitment and career event management tool, replacing BuckyNet and myECS. This document provides information about the tool.
All graduate students (except those in the School of Medicine and Public Health*) have access to and are encouraged to use Handshake. Questions should be directed to the student’s school/college career center.
