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. This report focuses on experiences of UW-River Falls students who graduated during the 2018-2019 academic year including August 2018, December 2018, January 2019, and May 2019. The data came from several verifiable sources including a campus-wide online survey, which invited graduates to provide information about their post-graduation status at regular intervals for six months following their graduation. In addition to the survey, data was also gathered from faculty members, searching social media profiles, and calling graduates.
Methods
Data Collection The primary method used to collect graduate outcomes data was an online survey. Several outreach strategies were used to distribute the survey including: emails, commencement events, commencement ceremonies, and faculty. 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 chair with an individualized list documenting the graduates 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 Friday, December 27, 2019. In total, UW-River Falls has knowledge of the outcomes of 86% of the 2018-2019 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. 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. 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.
