Classes of 2023 – 2025<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The First Destination survey asks graduating seniors and recent college graduates about their primary activity<\/strong> following graduation.  Graduates engaged in more than one activity (e.g. working and further education) are asked to select only one.  St. Olaf administers the survey at the end of April each year, and follows up with graduates in the fall.
