Post-Graduation Activities Report for the Class of 2012
The Bloomsburg University Career Development Center (CDC) produces an annual report of graduates
earning a bachelor’s degree to determine their status in the year following graduation. Information was
gathered via online survey, phone, email, social media, and in person. Faculty, staff and families also
played an integral role in obtaining information, resulting in a 91% response rate from graduates of the
Class of 2012. Our graduates continued to do well and we are pleased to report 89.3% are permanently
employed or continuing their education.
The CDC provides numerous opportunities for students to explore career options and to develop the skills
necessary to achieve their career goals and pursue meaningful life-work. We present and facilitate discussion
in academic classes, conduct workshops, meet one-on-one with students and coordinate career and job fairs,
while our on-campus recruitment program connects graduating seniors with potential employers in formal
interviews. In addition, the CDC website includes links to many resources useful in the career decision-making
process. For graduating seniors and alumni, we post career opportunities online at the College Central Network
(CCN), a cooperative job posting and career management site shared by all 14 PA State System of Higher
Education universities. We are proud to offer these programs and services that contribute positively to the
academic mission of Bloomsburg University.
We sincerely thank you for your continued support.
