INTRODUCTION

January, 2010 Graduates of the Class of 2009 were surveyed one year after graduation to allow for voluntary delays in obtaining employment as well as for the job shifting that tend to occur in the year following graduation. In keeping with the high placement rates of past Wittenberg University graduates, the Class of 2009 had an overall placement rate of 90.7% as defined by the number of those working full-time, enrolled in a post-baccalaureate program, or voluntarily unemployed. Additional report highlights include 83.5% indicated they were very satisfied or satisfied with their career status and 55.2% (of those responding to the question) reported completing a field experience beyond the required Community Service requirement. This report would not have been possible without the assistance of 1) the academic departments that shared data on the graduates who did not respond to our survey, 2) the Computing Center for assistance with getting the placement survey on line, and 3) Teresa Cantrell, WittPath Career Services Administrative Assistant, whose diligence made this survey a reality. WittPath Career Services welcomes your response to this report and hopes you find the information both interesting and informative. Sincerely, Karen S. Reynolds Director, WittPath Career Services

Appendix: Career Status Survey

46

Dear 2008/2009 Graduate, It is hard to believe that it has been a year since the Class of 2009 became Wittenberg alumni! This short survey asks questions about what you have been doing this past year in terms of employment and/or continuing your education. It will only take a few minutes to complete. You may have completed a similar questionnaire shortly after graduation, but the following survey is very important because the standard time line used by universities to collect career status data is one year after graduation. careers@wittenberg.edu All completed surveys that are received before Monday June 7, 2010 will be entered into a drawing for a $25 VISA gift card. We greatly appreciate your assistance! If you have questions, please contact us at 937-327-7521 or careers@wittenberg.edu. Sincerely, WittPath Career Services
