TRADITIONAL UNDERGRADUATE BACCALAUREATE COLLEGES:

Class of 2018 First Destination Survey

ABOUT THE SURVEY

The first destination survey provides an overview regarding the status of Eastern University Traditional

Undergraduate Baccalaureate (TUB) alumni within six to nine months of graduation. For the purposes of this

survey, “Class of 2018” is defined as a TUB student who graduated in August 2017, December 2017, or May

2018.

The Center for Career Development gathered statistics using the professional guidelines set forth

by NACE (National Association for Colleges and Employers). The First Destination Survey, created

by Handshake using NACE guidelines, was distributed electronically to TUB alumni. Data were also

gathered via paper surveys at December 2017 and May 2018 graduation rehearsals. Faculty

members were contacted via email in early 2018 about graduates whose status remained unknown.

Additionally, information on non-responders was captured from updated professional profiles on

social media sites (primarily LinkedIn) as well as employer webpages.

Through this extensive process, we obtained an 84% knowledge rate of the Class of 2018.

“Knowledge rate”, as defined by NACE, is the “percent of graduates for which an institution has

reasonable and verifiable information concerning the graduates’ post -graduation career

activities.” Our intention is to provide a summary of first destination highlights, as well as a specific

breakdown by TUB Colleges for the Class of 2018.

Submitted by Sarah Todd, M.Ed ’13, Director , Center for Career Development, 4/5/19

GENERAL SUMMARY

95% of the Class of 2018 survey respondents are employed, involved in post-

graduate education, or serving in full-time volunteer work within 6-9 months of

graduation.

Graduates of the Class of 2018 were asked to identify their primary activity after graduation.

QUOTES FROM THE CLASS OF 2018:

“I now serve as Social Work Specialist at Naamans Creek Country Manor, which serves as a nursing home

and short-term rehabilitation center for older adults. I interned here my senior year and they liked me so

much and saw my growth that they offered me a position to stay with them!” – Social Work Major

“I am currently working at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia as a Clinical Research Assistant. I am

working for the Center of Autism Research in The Robert's Center. Over 600 people applied and I received

the one position available. The experience I am gaining is incredible and I can't wait to see where this takes

me. I thank all of the Psychology professors for helping me get to where I am now and for helping me reach

my goals.” – Psychology Major

“Got hired quickly after graduation so I have been doing well! My resume was great because of Eastern, and

the place was a perfect fit for right now. Going to work for a year or so and figure out if I want to stay or

go back for graduate school.” – Chemistry Major

“I'm doing well in the PeaceCorps! Thank you Sarah Todd and Leslie Elken for all of the help in the Career

Building classes! Zikomo Kramiri! (Thank you very much) from Malawi!” – Political Science Major

“I am moving to Pittsburgh to start my MA at Duquesne University, where I was awarded a graduate

research assistantship. I also look to continue my involvement with the refugee crisis (the topic of my thesis

and from which Dr. Morgan prompted me to look into this program) and will be looking to volunteer

somewhere in Pittsburgh as well as connect to a local church.” – Communication Studies Major

“I LOVE my team at CCCS. I firmly believe that my education, specifically under the direction of Eastern's

Music Department, has framed me into an independent educator to be uniquely qualified for this specific

district.” – Music Education Major

“I am a supervisor of 7 people and work one-on-one with the public every day. The nature of my degree

looks at interactions between people and other people, institutions or experiences, and what better place to

see that than at a bank! I am loving my position because of my opportunities to work with people and learn

how to be a leader in a corporate setting.” – Sociology Major

“I recently accepted a position as a NICU Nurse in a children's hospital, which is my absolute dream. They

often take new grads and are a teaching hospital, so I'm very confident in what and how much I will be

learning over the next few years.” – Nursing Major

“I am a sustainable agriculture intern at A Rocha, which is a Christian environmental conservation

organization. It is a wonderful opportunity that I am enjoying so far.” – Individualized Major

“I am studying and preparing to take my CPA exam, which my firm is thankfully funding! My experience with

EY, and the Big 4 Public Accounting industry this far and through internships, has been very positive and I

would certainly recommend this professional path to anyone on the accounting/ finance track or major.” –

Accounting & Finance Major

“Going to be teaching 10th grade government and 11th grade American History. I feel like I have a lot to

learn, but I’m also well equipped.” – History Major with Secondary Education Certification
