BU Connects

BU Connects is an online networking community exclusively for alumni, students, faculty, and staff. Within BU Connects you’ll find a job board filled with open positions and internships shared through Handshake or posted by alumni recruiting on behalf of their company or organization. Thousands of members have also indicated many different ways they can help including informational interviews or career conversations in the short-term or professional mentoring relationships in the long-term.

Handshake
