Integrity and Social Responsibility Contract
for Professional, Recruiting & Alumni Engagement
As a student at Brandeis University, I will conduct myself appropriately and ethically throughout all my
professional interactions. I understand that my actions reflect upon Brandeis, my fellow students and me, and
that the Hiatt Career Center (“Hiatt”) is committed to helping me develop the skills necessary to succeed in
fostering professional connections and pursuing professional opportunities and goals.
To that end, the following policies and principles have been established to ensure my professionalism during the
career development and job/internship search process, throughout my time at Brandeis. I understand I am
expected to adhere to these principles and standards in all of my interactions on and off campus, with Hiatt,
alumni volunteers, employers, community members and any other Brandeis student, faculty or staff member. I
also understand that Hiatt holds itself and its employer partners, alumni and other community partners to the
highest level of professional integrity and social responsibility as established by the National Association of
Colleges and Employers Codes of Professional Conduct. Hiatt’s values as an office are as follows:
student/alumni-centered approach, results-focused orientation, leadership, sense of possibility, disciplined
thought, respect and humility, and integrity.
Honesty and Integrity
I understand that honesty and integrity throughout the career development and job/internship search process
reflect on my character. Therefore, I will provide accurate information in all materials and actions in the pursuit
of a meaningful professional future.
Professional Conduct
I understand that communicating and presenting myself in a professional manner and being courteous and
respectful in my dealings with others – whether such interactions are face-to-face, in writing, by phone, or
electronic – is critical in my job/internship search as well as for my professional development.
To that end, I will:
 Monitor publicly available content by and about me (text, voice and picture), including content and
photos on Google mail, personal blogs and social networking sites, and make reasonable efforts to
remove material that professionals may deem inappropriate or unprofessional.
 Acknowledge calls, emails and invitations for interviews, appointments, events and informational
discussions and respond appropriately in a timely manner.
 Attend all one-on-one and group interactions with employers, alumni, Hiatt staff and other professionals
(including on and off-campus interviews, information sessions, employer site visits, counseling
appointments, office hours, interview coaching nights, career fairs, industry nights, etc.) that I have
scheduled. I will provide two business days notice for any cancellation, if possible, and notify Hiatt
should any unforeseen circumstances occur that prevent my participation.
 Withdraw from all internship search activities once I have accepted an offer for that particular semester
or summer.
 Withdraw from all job search activities once I have accepted an employment offer.
