Where are you now, Class of 2010?   July 7, 2011

It has been over a year since you graduated, and at that time, some of you planned to go to graduate school, some had found employment, and others were still searching for the right opportunity.  A lot can happen in 18 months, and we would like to know what you have been doing and what plans you are making for the coming year. 

In order to find most of you, we will be also sending this same survey to your personal emails if we have them.  Please excuse the duplication; we are simply trying to make contact with you again.

How will we use this information?

 

The Career Center and your academic department(s)  will use the information we receive from this survey as we compare your interests and activities with previous classes.  Current students are also very interested in what recent graduates are doing, so we will share some general statistics about the class of 2010 with them.  We will also pass your current address and email on to the Alumni Office so you can receive email alumni news, alumni magazines and invitations to Homecoming and Reunion.

How can you stay involved with Hiram?

  • Join the Hiram Career Center Facebook or LinkedIn groups; both are great sources for professional networking.

  • If you are interested in talking with current students about your career or job search or would like to return to campus for Alumni career events, please email me at craigkm@hiram.edu. 

  • Don’t forget to register with the Alumni Community at http://alumni.hiram.edu/where you can network with other Hiram alums,  keep your address updated,  read about alumni events, and send news to the Alumni Magazine. 

  • As alums, you can still read job postings on HiramCareerNet on our website at  www.hiram.edu/career ; just start a new account with updated information.   

  • Check our website for grad school and graduate school testing information as well. 

Please let me know if you need any assistance from the Career Center. I would be happy to talk with you about your career plans or your job search at any time.
