  • What Are Connecticut College Alumni Doing Five Years After Graduation? a Study of the Class of 2013
    What Are Connecticut College Alumni Doing Five Years after Graduation? A Study of the Class of 2013 Wesley M. Morris ’20 and John D. Nugent Office of Institutional Research and Planning July 2018 SUMMARY We found reliable information about the employment and graduate school activities of about 87% of the Class of 2013. Five years after graduating from Connecticut College, about 96% of those for whom we found information were employed, in graduate school, or recent graduates of a degree program. Our students follow a variety of post-undergraduate pathways into jobs, fellowships, internships, degree programs, and non-degree coursework, and nearly half of the Class of 2013 has obtained some form of additional education. OVERVIEW Colleges and universities are now routinely expected to collect and report “outcomes” data on their graduates, primarily on employment, salaries, and graduate and professional school attendance.1 Collecting accurate data on a large portion of a graduated class is tricky, and there is currently no consensus on the best time or method for collecting the data. The National Association of Colleges and Employers has developed a voluntary “first destination” survey that they suggest administering six months following graduation,2 although that timeframe seems primarily aimed at answering the question of how many college graduates quickly secure employment and thus the ability to begin paying off student loans. While important, this is not the only outcome we should be interested in, particularly as an institution offering a liberal arts education, the fruits of which may take years to fully appear. Thus, a longer-term view that looks at graduates’ activities one or more years after graduation has been the approach taken by Connecticut College in our one-year-out and five-year-out studies.

  • Annual Report, September 2005-July 2006
    Child Development Institute Annual Report August 2011-July 2012 1 Mead Way ∙ Bronxville, NY 10708 ∙ (914) 395-2630 ∙ www.sarahlawrence.edu/cdi CDI Annual Report, 2011-2012 1 Mission and Point of View The Child Development Institute (CDI) was established in 1987 by a dedicated group of faculty. As an outreach arm of Sarah Lawrence College, CDI’s mission is to promote a developmentally informed view of children, childhood, and education and to act as an internal resource on campus and in the community. CDI carries out its mission through public events, professional development programs, and outreach and collaborative projects. In the progressive education perspective with which CDI identifies, the child is viewed as an individual in the social context, actively engaged in constructing knowledge through interactions with other people and the physical environment. CDI believes that the child’s educational experience should encompass social, emotional, and imaginative aspects of life in concert with intellectual development and that schools and other institutions be developed as communities that attend to the interests and needs of children from diverse backgrounds. CDI emphasizes that the individual child, as well as groups of children, should always be considered in the context of their environments—family, neighborhood, school, and culture. Faces of CDI The Child Development Institute staff consists of Indhira Blackwood, CDI Director, and Saundra Norton, CDI and Art of Teaching Administrative Assistant. CDI staff work closely with the CDI Faculty Advisory Group: Lorayne Carbon, Jan Drucker, Kim Ferguson, Barbara Schecter, and Sara Wilford; and CDI Professional Advisory Board Chair, Abigail Canfield. CDI has two consultants who offer their expertise: Margery B.

Introduction For years, the value of a college degree has been determined not by the most important outcomes of a college education, but by the easiest outcomes to measure — namely, job and graduate school placement rates and alumnae/i salaries (usually only from their first job out of college). While these metrics have some merit, they do not provide a holistic view of college graduates’ lives. These outcomes do not reflect the missions of higher education institutions, and they do not reflect the myriad reasons why students go to college. Together, Gallup and Purdue University created an index that examines the long-term success of graduates as they pursue a good job and a better life.
