Handshake sends a welcome series to eligible students after they create their account, sign in for the first time, and accept the Terms of Service.
These emails are automatically generated and sent from the g.joinhandshake.com domain. The series helps students get started on Handshake and take valuable actions during their first few weeks.
Welcome series

- Search for opportunities that match their interests
