The Simpson College Office of Career Development collects the first-

destination information of students within six months of graduation. The

report for the class of 2019 includes students who graduated between July

1, 2018 and June 30, 2019. Simpson College Career Development surveys

students prior to graduation, and if an outcome is not yet established, follows

up by phone and email. The team also secures information from campus

community members, social media sites and company directories in an

effort to gain the highest possible knowledge rate.
