Each incoming RSPH student signs the Office of Career Development “Professional Partnership Agreement” in tandem with the RSPH Student Honor and Conduct Code, which provides professional development guidelines for graduate students of the Rollins School of Public Health. This agreement reflects the input of the RSPH Community, including alumni, faculty, staff, and external partners, as well as demonstrates the expectations of OCD. The Office of Career Development diligently nurtures existing alumni and employer relationships.

Adhering to these guidelines below protects the integrity and sustainability of Rollins’ resources for you and your fellow classmates.

I understand that if I cannot attend an employer event, I will un-RSVP from the event in RSPH Career Connection at least 24 hours in advance. In the event of an emergency within 24 hours of the event, I will provide a notice of cancellation to the OCD via email rsphcareerdev@emory.edu or 404.727.9957.
I will not release information (such as alumni email address) I have obtained by OCD or RSPH partners (alumni, employers, faculty and staff) to anyone unless permission is granted by the RSPH partner.
I will engage in timely attendance, appointment cancellation etiquette, and considerate meeting suggestions for professional networking. Note: Do not assume Emory campus is an ideal meeting location for alumni or employers, some may prefer to meet at a more convenient location, or by Zoom.
I will maintain professional communications in-person, phone, and email with RSPH faculty, staff, alumni and employers (including at Rollins Earn and Learn positions, APE: applied practice experience, internship or volunteer opportunities). Professional communication includes, but is not limited to, professional tone and content, appropriate email/phone greetings, grammatically correct communication, and proper follow-up practices.
