The Office of Career Services will continue to support students virtually throughout the spring semester. The health and safety of all of our students continues to be our first priority. Rather than offering in-person appointments, our Career Advisers are available to meet with students via Zoom or phone; students can schedule these appointments as they normally would on Handshake. If you need to speak with us, please email careerservices@sarahlawrence.edu. We will respond to you, typically on the same business day.
