 When you click Confirm Email in your confirmation email, you will be brought back to Handshake.

You will now need to create a new company page by clicking the button on the right side of the page, “Create New Company” as show below. Do not select another department on campus, you must create a page for your own department.

• From there, fill in the details of your department with a logo, contact info, etc. Then select Create New Company button once you have completed all of the info. (If you need a step by step on Creating a New Company, you can follow along here.)
