PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: Career Services Request for Student Stories – due 11/9!
Dear Colleagues –
UIC is currently completing its analysis and reporting of First Destination Survey data for the Class of 2018 and will begin collecting survey data for the Class of 2019. The First Destination Survey represents a strategic institutional effort to collect and communicate information regarding how UIC bachelor’s degree graduates fare in their “career outcomes” within six months of graduation. For details about the Class of 2017 First Destination Outcomes Survey results, please refer to the graduate/alumni reports in the Office of Institutional Research (OIR) website (link).
Over the last two academic years, Career Services has featured recent graduates representing different successful journeys to their post-graduation outcomes in the Career Services website. Career Services would similarly seek to capture the success stories of Class of 2019 bachelor’s degree graduates. This is an opportunity to celebrate the diverse outcomes of UIC graduates and their journeys in achieving their career goals. To that end, we would like your assistance in nominating December graduates from the Class of 2019 who have successfully achieved or are in the process of fulfilling their post-graduation plans. These students’ success stories would be featured on the Career Services website and in different communication vehicles.
We are seeking Class of 2019 graduates who have successfully secured a career outcome, which may include continuing education at a graduate level, employment, military service, or volunteer/service program. We ask that you consider graduates who represent the diversity of our campus and different career outcome(s). Please send your nominations by completing a short submission form by November 9.
Based on submissions, students will be selected to be showcased in First Destination Class of 2019 internal marketing materials and external communications to the community-at-large.
We are excited about the opportunity to share our graduates’ outcomes. If you have feedback or questions regarding this process, please contact Tatjana Rapajic (trapajic@uic.edu).
Regards,
Thy Nguyen and Tatjana Rapajic
