Law, Policy & Governance

          As a Career Specialist in Azusa Pacific University’s Center for Career and Community Engaged Learning, I oversee some aspects of Employer Relations. As such, integrating university terms of service and privacy policies into our Center’s external opportunity and employer relations partnership procedures is crucial. To ensure the legal and ethical protection of the university, students, employers, and community partners (Schulte, 2017), I took on the task of updating and integrating the Center’s terms and policies directly into our Center’s communication methods with external institutions and employers. This document serves as a guide for all center personnel when engaging in conversations with or approving events/opportunities from external employers and organizations. Additionally, I have played an active role in updating our center's Handshake Policy for Employers. Both are Designed in an easy-to-follow format and serve as vital resources to ensure our Center’s policies are ethically abided in all external communications and interactions with interested partners. This process placed me far outside of my comfort zone as it challenged my comprehensive understanding of center policy, and the application of such regulations within my work as a student affairs professional.
