U of A students graduating this spring are invited to complete the First Destination Survey to report on their post-graduation pursuits. Graduating students can access the survey or follow the instructions found in their email. The survey should take less than five minutes.

Faculty and staff should encourage graduating students to complete this survey, which provides insight regarding U of A graduates' career paths and is an excellent resource for prospective and current students' career planning. The First Destination Survey also allows students to discover what their fellow Razorbacks are doing after graduation. 

Recently, the Offices of Career Connections unveiled the First Destination Dashboard, which visualizes the data collected with the First Destination Survey. This dashboard allows users to use filters to narrow down data by graduation year, college, major, degree level, outcome, employer industry, and residency.

The Offices of Career Connections works collaboratively with all U of A colleges to collect graduates' career outcomes data. The office then reports the data on behalf of the U of A to various agencies, including the U.S. News & World Report, National Association of Colleges and Employers, Princeton Review survey, Peterson's Undergraduate survey, College Board survey and Wintergreen survey.

Participation in this survey is voluntary, and refusing to participate will not adversely affect any other relationship with the university or the researchers. If you have questions or concerns about your rights as a research participant, please feel free to contact the university's compliance coordinator at 479-575-2208 or irb@uark.edu.
