We will be conducting virtual appointments until further notice. Our office is open, but we will not be seeing students, alumni, faculty/staff, or employers face-to-face. The doors to the building are locked, please call (803)323-2141 or email us (careerdev@winthrop.edu) if you need assistance.
Some major changes are coming this summer (2021) that will affect the Eaglelink job portal. As your university career center, we want to ensure that we do our best to keep up with student and employer needs in regard to user experience and accessibility. After surveying and assessing student and employer participation and feedback, we’ve decided to update to a different user platform (HandShake) that we hope will provide users with a fresher, simpler, and more streamlined experience.
Over the next few weeks, we will begin the work of transitioning contact data from the previous CRM to Handshake to maintain access to Eaglelink. However, we highly encourage you to retrieve any documents (resumes, cover letters, etc.) or listings that you may have uploaded at this time as we will not be able to transfer this individual data. Once we have transitioned to the new platform, you will no longer be able to access your old account, but will instead create a new account on Eaglelink via Handshake to continue making connections, uploading documents for review, and more!
Service to the previous platform will cease on June 20th, 2021. In the coming weeks, we will release official instructions on creating and using your Eaglelink - Handshake account. There may be a minor break in website service while we get things up and running, but we will make sure to keep everyone posted and are open to any questions you may have via email at careerdev@winthrop.edu.
Thank you for patience during this time and we look forward to this exciting new step!
