We would love to stay in touch with you when you've finished coursework with us! Please use our online form to keep us up to date on life events, work updates, current contact information, and anything else you'd like to share. It would be very helpful if you would attach a small picture of yourself when you email us your form. We will even take care of alerting the Alumni Office of any changes to your name and contact information.
The Santa Clara Alumni Association offers services and events for undergraduate and graduate students. Among the many services they provide, they would love your notes for the Santa Clara Magazine.

Career Center
The Career Center on SCU's campus supports graduate students at the University as well as undergrads. The Job Prep ToolKit on their website provides advice about designing resumes, networking, using LinkedIn, writing cover letters, interviewing, and negotiating salaries and job offers.
Handshake
Handshake is the career platform that Santa Clara uses to push out word of jobs that the University is notified of. It is integrated into your campus email account, which means that you already have an account and just need to sign on to take advantage of it. From the Handshake Login page, click on "Santa Clara University Sign On" and use your SCU Network username and password to login. Alumni who did not register for an account as students can contact the Career Center to request an account as well (1-408-554-4421).
Portfolium
Portfolium is an online portal that employers can use to browse academic and ministry projects that you have written or designed. With its ability to embed graphics, video and slide presentations, Portfolium goes beyond the traditional resume to showcase your skills. You automatically get a lifetime Portfolium account as a student at Santa Clara. When you login to SCU's single sign-on portal, you'll see the Portfolium tile in the tile array below GMail and Camino. There is no automatic integration with your classes; you have complete control over what projects from your classes or your work that you choose to feature.
