11. After Graduation Employment data was hardest to find. Yield higher for finding addresses (1174, 38%). International alumni almost invisible. Next analysis is comparison with Alumni Foundation database for accuracy and completeness. Lesson learned Still need to contact alumni to get the most complete employment dataset, but fast/affordable cyber sampling of alumni can return a sizeable subset of employment data. Bruce Weinberg will tell us how to do this right tonight…

12. After Graduation o Do you collaborate with your alumni foundation to track graduates? o What are your effective touch points with alumni (letters, program updates, brochures, past mentor)? o What works? Are you satisfied?
