The UW-River Falls Career Services Office oversees the First Destination Survey data collection, analysis, and reporting. This survey documents the post-graduate outcomes for baccalaureate and graduate degree recipients who graduated during the 2019-2020 academic year including August 2019, December 2019, January 2020, and May 2020. This was an unprecedented year, when our graduates and the university community experienced several notable challenges navigating the COVID-19 pandemic, political unrest, and social injustice that impacted our lives professionally, socially, and personally. It is reasonable to expect these challenges impacted our degree recipients’ post-graduate pursuits and transitions. The data in this report came from several verifiable sources including a campus-wide online survey, which invited graduates to provide information about their postgraduation status at regular intervals for six months following their graduation. In addition to the survey, data was also gathered from communicating with faculty, searching social media profiles, and calling graduates. We extend our warm congratulations to graduates who have secured employment, are enrolled in continuing education, engaged in service roles, or other first destinations. We are proud of your accomplishments in these challenging times. Additionally, we extend our care and support to those who have experienced prolonged challenges and still may be seeking their next steps.
Methods
Data Collection The primary method used to collect graduate outcomes data was an online survey. Requests to complete the survey were sent approximately two months prior to graduation, at graduation, and monthly for 6 months post-graduation. Direct surveys of graduates were our primary and preferred source of data; however, other sources of information were utilized when survey data was not available. For example, verifiable graduate outcomes reported by employers or gathered by departments were added into the data set. For survey non-respondents, Career Services made phone calls and searched social media sites including Facebook and LinkedIn. Career Services utilized caution in our review of social media profiles and only captured data appearing to have been updated recently. Career Services provided department chairs with an individualized list documenting the graduates from their departments for whom data was missing as well as those indicating they were still seeking employment. The department chairs were asked to review this list and provide information for graduates. Data collection concluded on Thursday, December 31, 2020. In total, UW-River Falls has knowledge of the outcomes of 82% of the 2019-2020 graduates. The term “knowledge rate” defines the percentage of graduates for whom reasonable and verifiable information concerning the graduates’ post-graduation career activities is known. The knowledge rate is considerably higher than the national recommended minimum of 65%. Confidentiality The privacy and confidentiality of UW-River Falls graduates is highly respected and protected throughout the process. All personally identifying information is removed from data presentations. To further protect confidentiality, salary data is only reported in aggregate. Standards and Protocols The terminology, standards, and protocols of the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) were utilized throughout this study. NACE is the primary national organization focused on the employment of the college educated. Special Considerations Students with multiple majors are counted in each major so total number of graduates is larger than total number of degrees awarded.
FIRST DESTINATI N REPORT 1
Graduates receiving their MSE-School Psychology degree were removed as 100% will continue in pursuit of their Educational Specialist degree, which is a terminal degree. This decision was made in consultation with the Counseling and School Psychology Department and eliminates data being reported on the same students multiple times.
Acknowledgments Career Services would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the individuals and offices who helped with this project including: Institutional Research, Registrar’s Office, campus administrators, college deans, all the department chairs, faculty members, University Communications and Marketing, and the entire Career Services staff.
