Class of 2007 Results
Coordinated by
the Career Services Office at
the University of Wisconsin - Green Bay
Each year, Career Services conducts a
follow-up survey, focusing on the post-graduate status of the previous
year’s December, May and August Bachelor’s degree candidates. In
addition to providing a copy of the survey with each graduate’s diploma,
attempts are made to contact each graduate via mailings, e-mails and
phone calls. Faculty and employers are also asked to contribute their
knowledge of alumni whereabouts. A final report is compiled in late
spring.
