On behalf of the Office of Career Development,
it is my pleasure to share the career
accomplishments of the Class of 2012. Six
months after graduation, 94% of respondents had
secured employment, admission to graduate
school, law school, or medical school, with 1%
entering the military. This year’s Class saw an
increase of 6% in employment over the previous
class. Opportunities accepted carried higher
salaries as well.
All members of the Class of 2012 were contacted
and outcomes information was solicited from
September 2011 through October 2012. The
report that follows is based on a response rate
of 89%.
Our greatest honor is to foster the success of

Sincerely,
Lynn Insley

The Career Development
staff was helpful in every

creating my resume to
accepting my full time offer.

The Career Development staff at Stevens provided me with a level of
service far beyond my imagination. Over the course of my career as
a Stevens student, the Career Development staff assisted me in
landing an internship with a Wall Street bank and eventually securing
full-time employment at a Big Four accounting firm. I recommend
that all Stevens students utilize the services that the Career
Development Office has to offer.

The Office of Career Development helped start my professional
career right from freshman year. Their seasoned and dedicated staff
aligned my professional and academic goals through a series of
internships and Co-Op. Thus, with strong academic background and
valuable professional experience, I became a qualified and highly
marketable candidate for my field. The Office of Career Development
was my gateway to success.

Throughout my 4 years at Stevens, I
was constantly going to Career
Development for advice on where to
apply and how to interview. The
staff helped me review my resume,
cover letters, follow up emails, and
virtually anything I needed to send to
potential companies. My senior year
they helped me to build a list of
companies that best offered what I
was looking for. With their help I
graduated with multiple offers in
various companies that I could see
myself working at. Everyone there
was always happy to help and
greeted me with a smile which made
talking to them and asking questions
very easy.
Michelle Galvez
Associate Project Manager
Shadow Financial Systems, Inc.
I had the opportunity to work with The Office of Career Development at
Stevens for three years and I found it to be the most helpful and well
run service at the school. The OCD is geared towards helping students
on a very interpersonal level so I was able to work with the same
advisor my entire time at Stevens forming a very strong
relationship. This counseling, which ranged from in depth résumé or
interviewing workshops to impromptu questions on how to word an
email, enabled me to take advantage of all the OCD has to offer and
graduate from Stevens with a strong résumé, two internship
experiences in my area of interest and a full time job offer with my first
choice company.
