The number one reason students go to college is to improve their employability. Unfortunately, as many as 30 percent of freshmen will drop out of college before they sense the value of their education. Our full-year assessment program can solve that!
Your parents expect your college is going to require their students to invest time in career events and activities. You need to remind them their role is to be career encouragers. Learn how focusing on careers will increase contributions.

A dozen polls and research reports over the past decade (Alumni Attitude Study, PEW, McKinsey, Gallup) have shown the number one service alumni want from their alma mater is career and professional development programming. In these uncertain times, this will be a valued service.
