Hello Colleagues,

We need your help! On November 3rd, graduating seniors for Fall and Winter terms were emailed an invitation to complete the Career Destination Survey (also known as 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)
  • Add “Wildcat Career” on social media platforms and share our messaging with your network

The survey is available for students online.

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.
  • Students from the Eller College of Management will be routed to complete the College's survey through their eSMS.

For any questions on the Career Destination Survey, please contact Kendra Thompson-Dyck at kthompd@email.arizona.edu or Megan Forecki at mforecki@email.arizona.edu.

We appreciate your assistance!
