Cannabis
Proposition 64 legalized recreational marijuana use in the State of California in November 2016. As such, UC Davis Internship and Career Center will approve cannabis companies to post job or internship opportunities within Handshake. At this time we are not approving event or career fair registrations for cannabis companies.
Cannabis use and possession is prohibited on all university property. Please refer to the University of California Office of the President guidelines.
