Class of 2002 Results
Coordinated by
the Career Services Office at
the University of Wisconsin - Green Bay
Each
year, the Career Services Office conducts a follow-up survey of its
newest alumni, focusing on the employment status of December, May and
August Bachelor's degree candidates. In addition to receiving a copy of the survey with their
diploma, these graduates are mailed surveys during the months
following graduation, and telephone
calls are placed to reach individuals as well.
Faculty and employers are also asked to contribute their
knowledge of alumni whereabouts. A final report is compiled in late April/early May.
