To provide a sense of what our majors do immediately after Commencement, the Department of Economics conducts a senior survey in late April. This year, 81.4% of the Class of 2019 completed the survey and informed us of plans of employment or continuing their education. You can view the complete survey results here. The following alumni updates are grouped by industry and were supplied with permission from members of the Class of 2019. This list is not exhaustive as some seniors preferred to keep their employment offers private.
