Attention GRADUATING SENIORS:
UCSC wants to hear about your post graduation plans! The First Destination Survey asks graduating seniors about plans after completing a degree at UC Santa Cruz -- whether seeking employment, working, going to graduate school, or pursuing other interests.
The survey will take about 3-5 minutes to complete and you will be entered into a drawing to win 1 of 5 $100 gift cards! Gift card recipients will be contacted via their UCSC email in early July so take the survey ASAP!
UCSC uses this aggregate data to learn about career outcomes of graduates, to share with potential students and their families and to make improvements to services.
