First Destination Survey
Every year we ask our students for more information about their post-graduation plans. Pursuing a particular
passion? Going to graduate school? Starting a new job? We want to know!
This survey should take no more than 2 minutes to complete.
Completing this short survey will help 澳门老奇人论坛 share our students' success
stories and meet the needs of future Highlanders. The information from this survey
is used for college rankings, recruiting new Highlanders, submitted as part of accreditation
reports and shared with SCHEV (State Council of Higher Education for Virginia) and
NACE (National Association for Colleges and Employers). Additionally, completion
of the survey will help identify students who need further support.
