Please note that your Handshake account is automatically created by the time you are admitted to Kent State University, and you are automatically subscribed to the Handshake email list. If you select to unsubscribe from the Handshake email list, please note that it is an absolute unsubscribe, meaning that you will no longer receive any email notifications regarding career events, fairs, jobs, and internships postings.
