A segment is a filtered group of students you can use to create a campaign or identify job matches. A campaign is a message you'll send to these selected students, often about a job posting or event.

1. Click on Segments from the left navigation bar. The page will list active segments created by yourself and other teammates.
Segment Columns:
- Name: the name of the segment
- Date Created: the date the segment was created
- Count: the number of students within the Segment
- Institutions: how many institutions are included in the Segment
- Owner: the creator of the segment
- Icons:
- Envelope: create a campaign directly from that segment
- Pencil: edit segment
- Paper: duplicate segment

2. Click Create Segment in the upper-right corner of the page to build your own.
Use the filters to identify the subset of students you'd like to include. The right side of the page will display a dynamic query as you add filters - as you select more filters, the number of students included will typically decrease.
Note: segments are fluid, meaning students can move in and out of segments as their profiles change. As an example, if a student's course or level of study changes on their Handshake profile, they will no longer be included in that segment.
The current filters in Segments include:

- Select individual institutions, or add a Institution List. Learn more about How to Use Institution Lists.
