The Office of Institutional Research, Assessment and Planning conducted a survey of spring graduating students. The survey was administered online, through a link that was available to students requesting to participate in the graduation ceremony. The purpose of the survey was to acquire information about the future plans of our graduates for reporting on the College Portrait instrument published by the Voluntary System of Accountability (VSA).
