We love when you Hire a Bison!
Our students are actively looking for opportunities to engage with employers like you! We invite all employers to post their jobs, internships and other opportunities to Handshake, our digital recruiting platform.
In addition to traditional opportunities, virtual internships, short-term projects and micro internships can also provide meaningful ways for Bucknell students to gain vital experience and make important industry connections. It is our goal that these opportunities provide a mutually beneficial experience to students and employer organizations.
