Monterey Institute of International Studies

Report on 2010 Alumni

Report by: Office of Planning and Assessment Office of Institutional Research 12/14/2011


2 of 28

Where are your graduates? What are they doing now? Those questions and many more are asked on

most college and graduate school campuses by potential students, current students, parents, potential

donors, faculty, accrediting agencies, and more. The office of Alumni Relations at the Monterey

Institute of International Studies takes many measures to obtain this vital information via surveys,

individual contact with alumni and faculty, and internet searches. This report attempts to display the

data collected for the Class of 2010 in a usable manner. Data reported here reflect data from Banner in

June 2010, thus one year after May graduation. In some cases, we reference the one year out alumni

survey specifically and note the data as such.

This report is divided into three sections: Degrees and Certificates Awarded, Location of Alumni,

Employment of Alumni.

Employment

The following figures represent the number of alumni with known employment as of June 2011. Many

recent graduates are delayed in providing employment information as they relocate to other countries

for professional opportunities, return to their countries of citizenship, wait for employment visas or

security clearances for positions they have been offered. The number of alumni with known

employment changes constantly.
