CONTENTS

I am pleased to present the 2012-13 Annual Report for the Office of Career Services. I joined the team in December, just as the Class of 2013 survey period was coming to a close, and I feel fortunate to have joined a staff that is dedicated and committed to serve our diverse and multifaceted student population.

Princeton University prepares the leaders of tomorrow for lives of contribution and impact in the world, while encouraging a lifelong commitment to curiosity and learning. The Office of Career Services plays an important role in that process by helping students to think boldly and broadly about the career possibilities ahead.

As we look ahead, our office is well-positioned to be a connector among our students, external organizations and Princeton’s incredibly committed alumni base. I look forward to engaging in dialogue with our stakeholders as we embark on a new strategy for Career Services—one that will help each of our students define a unique and compelling vision for their career and life, and then help to connect each student with the resources, people, organizations and opportunities that will make their unique vision a reality.

Sincerely,

Pulin SanghviPulin Sanghvi, Executive Director

Please note: Student self-reported data was collected using the following methods: the post-graduation plans survey form completed in May prior to graduation, e-mail messages from graduates received within six months after graduation, Internet sources such as LinkedIn, and information verified by employers and academic departments. There are some students who reported upon graduation that they were seeking employment or graduate study but did not respond to follow-up requests from the Office of Career Services. It is possible that by the end of the six-month data collection period their status had changed.

Nonprofit & Government Employment

he University’s informal motto, “Princeton in the Nation’s Service

and in the Service of All Nations,” reflects a long history of preparing students for positions of leadership and lives of service in a wide variety of fields.

Of the Class of 2013 graduates employed in all possible types of employment combined (full-time, part-time, self-employed, military, professional sports, and participation in one-two year internships), 285 obtained employment in a wide range of organizations within the nonprofit sector including educational institutions, health care and social assistance organizations, grantmaking and giving services, social advocacy groups, civic and social

organizations, government support, and scientific research and development services/foundations.

Please note that the NAICS industry classification system, used to identify and categorize the industries in which our graduates obtained employment, does not include nonprofit as a separate industry category.

Nonprofit and government organizations are incorporated into several different NAICS categories including, but not limited to, educational services, health care and social assistance, scientific research and development services, religious, grantmaking, civic organizations and public administration.

A sample of nonprofit and government employers with multiple hires is included below. Employers with less than two graduates employed are not included.

2013 SUMMER EXPERIENCE REPORT

he Office of Career Services promotes the value of experiential learning to students, encouraging them to pursue experiences

through which they can explore career-related interests, and enhance their skills. We provide many services, resources, and events to help students connect with opportunities. We also build and maintain ongoing relationships with employers, alumni and campus partners to identify internships and other summer experiential learning programs for our students.

Each year, we ask students to complete a voluntary online survey to identify the ways in which they spent the summer. The following summarizes the responses for summer of 2013.

At the start of the spring semester, I began applying to a number of different internship opportunities. It didn’t take long for me to realize that I had no idea what I was doing. Looking for help and guidance, I scheduled an appointment with a career counselor. I was blown away by their patience and willingness to help me in an honest and genuine manner. What I appreciated most was that they showed me how to leverage my skills in a way that will help me have a diverse and broad array of options in the future. – Paul Riley`15
