Class of 2007 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.
