The three campuses share the resources of over 35,300 global employers across 20 industries on Handshake, a global career resource platform. It has also created a series of educational programs and activities, including industry interest groups, NYU Alumni Executive Mentor Program, I AM LIMITLESS Conference, June Lin Industry Mentor Program, On-Campus Recruitment (OCR) Program, Social Impact Internship Grant, and First Destination Program. These initiatives support students at each stage of their career path.
