Follow-up Report on the Class of 2006

Career Services annually conducts a follow up study on the graduating class from the prior year. This report contains information on the career-related activities for the Class of 2006. Career Services takes very seriously its responsibilities with regard to following up on the career placement of OWU graduates. In order to ensure the highest possible response rate, Career Services takes a wide variety of approaches. These include US postal mailings of surveys, repeated e-mail survey requests, phone calls, and surveying seniors before they leave campus each spring at the annual Senior Salute event. This report presents information with regard to the following areas for the Class of 2006:

1. Summary Statistics 2. Employment Information 3. Graduate/Professional School Information

As always, it is our hope that this report will serve as a useful resource for administration, faculty, staff, students, parents, alumni and prospective OWU students and their families. Current status of the Class of 2006 is as follows: 68% report being employed full-time 23% report being enrolled in a full-time graduate/professional school program 5% report being employed in addition to being enrolled in a graduate/professional school program 82% of respondents currently employed reported being employed in the field of their choice.

Comparison summary data have been included for the Classes of 2005 and 2004 in this report. In addition, the full class outcome reports for each class since 2000, as well as two special five and ten year follow up reports (classes of 1998 and 1994 respectively) can all be found on the career services home page (http://careers.owu.edu). Any questions regarding any of these reports should be directed to Career Services at (740) 368-3152. Please note that identifiable information with regard to this or any other report cannot be provided. We sincerely hope that you find the results of this survey interesting and informative. Sincerely, Tom Vecchione, Ph.D. Nancy A. Westfield, M.A. Director Assistant Director
