Hello Colleagues, On March 11th, graduating seniors were emailed an invitation to complete the Graduating Senior Survey which collects data about college students' post-graduation outcomes related to employment and continuing education. An overview of the survey purpose and methodology can be found online.
 
To reach and encourage as many graduating students as possible to complete the survey, we are seeking assistance from campus partners to support our data collection efforts.
 
How to Help:
 
  • Include the survey link in direct emails to graduating students. (Sample email)
  • Provide the link and messaging in a notification via D2L
  • Add the survey link to your website, resource page or social media platform. (Examples here) 
  • Add “UAZSECD” on social media platforms and share our messaging with your network. We are planning to post on our socials on Monday, April 22 and Wednesday, June 3.
The survey is available for students at https://seniorsurvey.arizona.edu.
 
How this Helps Students:
 
  • Students who indicate "still seeking employment" receive responsive follow-up services from Student Engagement and Career Development.
  • Students can opt in to receiving Alumni Association resources such as networking and job search support post-graduation.
  • Students who respond today help future students understand the post-graduation benefits of receiving an education from the University of Arizona
Survey Administration Details:
 
  • Only students who have applied for graduation will be eligible to complete the survey.
  • Students may re-enter updated information if their post-graduation status changes using the same link or their unique retake link that is emailed to them once they begin the survey.
As a reminder, we are always happy to collaborate with departments to generate insights on your specific students' outcomes. These insights can help inform future departmental goals or for accreditation purposes. Additionally, the Graduating Senior Survey Dashboard is readily available on UAccess Analytics. See our Box folder for instructions on how to obtain access to the Dashboard. For any questions on the Graduating Senior Survey, please contact Megan Forecki at mforecki@arizona.edu. We appreciate your assistance!
