LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR
October 2012
We realized many wins during AY 2011-2012 including seeing student satisfaction for Career Center
services reach an all-time high of 70.2% among seniors who took the Graduating Student Survey. The
majority of seniors taking this survey, 52.3%, also indicated that the Career Center was the top resource
they used in getting a job.
While this is great news, no company or industry can remain the same in this fast-changing, complex
world and be successful.
Over the past three years, we have listened to university leadership, faculty/staff, employers, students,
industry experts, parents and the Vanderbilt community to determine the best ways to prepare students
for this new world.
During the last year, we began implementing a comprehensive strategy that included forging a strong
presence in The Martha Rivers Ingram Commons with first-year students, integrating our services into the
flow of student activities, building strong recruiting relationships through alumni and parents and
collaborating with our many campus partners.
We also brought in Australian author and noted career theorist Dr. Jim Bright to train our staff and
campus partners in an emerging theory that emphasizes short-term flexible planning and understanding
the importance of lifelong themes and patterns in decision-making.
Looking ahead, our focus will be on developing students holistically in areas that will emphasize
resilience, such as taking action, understanding opportunities, how to leverage connections and how to
navigate change. Our new name, Center for Student Professional Development, reflects this new focus
and direction.
We are fortunate that we have had a very successful year, but the best is yet to come.
Best regards,
Cindy Funk

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Vanderbilt Career Center (VCC) is part of Academic Affairs and is supervised through the Provost’s
Office. The leadership team is comprised of the Director and two Associate Directors and there are 15
staff members, 15 Peer Career Advocates and two Graduate Interns. All staff work in teams and the VCC
uses the Vanderbilt Performance Evaluation System (VPES) and a combination of supervision, mentoring
and training to develop staff.
The VCC’s role is multi-faceted and includes providing career coaching services, operating a campus
recruiting program, a web-based job board, website and listservs, coordinating networking and
information events including job fairs and site visits, providing job related programming for student
groups, coordinating student mentoring programs, speaking to parent groups on and off campus, working
with professors in the classroom to include career topics in the curriculum, and collaborating with campus
groups like The Martha Rivers Ingram Commons, Development and Alumni Relations, Owen Graduate
School of Management, and others to provide job and career information, internships, and other support
and collaboration.
Through strategic planning and working with a priorities based document, The Same Page, VCC
leadership has been able to identify key goals and contribute to the needs of its many stakeholders.
Highlights from 2011-2012 include:
•
Students reporting full-time employment by graduation time increased from last year’s
36.6% to 52% this year.
•
Graduating seniors (52.3%, up from 44% last year) continue to cite the Career Center as
having a significant role in their finding a job.
•
Student satisfaction with career center services has increased from 53.1% to 70.2% in the last
five years.
•

OUR PURPOSE
The purpose of the Vanderbilt Career Center (VCC) is to help Vanderbilt students and recent graduates
(0-2 years out) leverage the Vanderbilt network and make the most of their education, resources, and
connections to secure internship and full-time post graduate opportunities.
PREPARING STUDENTS FOR OPPORTUNITIES
THE CAREER CLUSTER MODEL
The VCC coaches students based on
Career Clusters rather than by a
student’s major. English majors
sometimes find themselves in the
music industry and Engineering
majors find themselves on Wall Street.
With this approach, students can
explore their interests in various fields
and see how they can apply what they
have learned through their courses of
study to their field of interest.
Additionally, this approach provides
students with more targeted
information in their life mapping
process.
In preparing students for the world of
work, VCC Career Coaches meet with
students during coaching
appointments on how to develop and
utilize their network, identify
opportunities, research companies,
create resumes and cover letters,
conduct a strategic job search, and
prepare for interviews for either
internships or post-graduate
opportunities.

CONNECTING STUDENTS TO OPPORTUNITIES
The Vanderbilt Career Center connects students to opportunities through job postings, campus
interviews, information sessions, industry career days, fairs and more.
CAMPUS RECRUITING
Campus recruiting is one of the most recognizable ways the VCC provides for students to explore careers
and pursue positions of interest to them. Four key areas comprise the campus recruiting efforts: Industry
Career Days/Fairs/Exploration Events, On-Campus Interviewing, Employer Information Sessions,
and DoreWays job and internship postings.
INDUSTRY CAREER DAYS, FAIRS & EXPLORATION EVENTS
Industry Career Days (ICDs) are opportunities for students to network with employers in a targeted
industry, i.e. Consulting, Finance, or Engineering. Often the employers are recruiting for full-time job or
internship opportunities. During the 2011-2012 academic year, the VCC hosted four ICDs during the fall
semester: Business, Communications and Consulting, Finance, Engineering and Information
Technology, and Government and Nonprofit. Also during the fall semester VCC hosted the annual
Law School Fair.
During the spring semester, the VCC added a second Engineering and Information Technology ICD.
The first Health Care Industry Exploration Day took place in the spring and had 30 employers in
attendance.
Additionally, the VCC partnered with 13 Middle-Tennessee colleges and universities to host the Nashville
Area College to Career Fair and the Nashville Area Teacher Recruitment Fair. These events were
held concurrently at the Williamson County Ag Expo Center and were attended by numerous Vanderbilt
students.
Vanderbilt students interact with employers during the September 2011 Business,
Communications, and Consulting Industry Career Day event.

ON-CAMPUS INTERVIEWS FOR FULL-TIME POSITIONS
Applying and interviewing for On-Campus Interview (OCI) positions posted in DoreWays is a key way
students can connect to employers. According to the 2012 Graduating Student Survey, 52.3% of
respondents, up from 44% in 2011, indicated they used the VCC to help them obtain full-time
postgraduate employment.
The table below outlines the OCI activity for full-time positions for 2011-2012. Overall, ten fewer
employers interviewed on campus this past year; however, 47.6% more interviews were conducted.

DOREWAYS (JOB POSTINGS)
In addition to OCI postings, employers are able to post full-time and internship positions in DoreWays
without committing to interviewing students on campus. This opportunity gives students a more extensive
range of opportunities, both geographically and by job function, for internship and full-time positions.
NACElink is another resource students have to search for jobs. NACElink is the largest career network of
career services and recruiting professionals in the world. It allows employers to perform recruiting tasks at
multiple schools simultaneously through a single website. These postings are viewable by NACElink
member schools only.
DoreWays Job Postings Increased by 24.22%
The following table shows the total DoreWays and NACElink job postings for 2011-2012 as compared to
2010-2011. A total of 2385 jobs were posted in DoreWays, up from 1920 postings the previous year,
for an increase of 24.22%.

INTERNSHIPS
Internships, both paid and unpaid, continue to be key experiences for students as they build their resume
and try to figure out their place in the world of work. Vanderbilt offers many avenues to help students
search for the right internships.
73% of Undergraduates Completed an Internship Prior to Graduation
SUMMER SUBSIDY
Students pursing summer internships often faced the challenge of needing to receive credit to accept an
internship opportunity. In response to this challenge, Associate Provost Cynthia Cyrus assembled a
committee of Associate Deans from each of the colleges and schools who developed a solution by
implementing the Summer Internship Subsidy.
This Subsidy was designed to cover/waive the majority of tuition and fees for the academic component of
a one-credit summer internship. For the summer of 2012, any undergraduate student who was required
by their employer to earn academic credit could apply for the Subsidy through one of the four schools.
Students were required to enroll in a designated one-credit summer course and pay $200 plus applicable
summer fees.
As part of the Subsidy application process, the VCC developed an online internship orientation that
addressed the issues of workplace law, harassment, etiquette, and other issues they might encounter.
Students completed a 10-question quiz following the online orientation to assess comprehension. A total
of 123 students successfully completed the online orientation process.

UCAN
The University Career Action Network (UCAN) is a consortium of 22 national colleges and universities—
from Harvard University on the east coast, to Vanderbilt University in the south, to Pepperdine University
on the west coast—that supports a shared internship database, maintained by consortium members. The
database lists thousands of domestic and international internships opportunities that expand a student's
ability to work in geographically diverse locations across the U.S. and abroad.
There were 4635 more internships available through UCAN during the 2011-2012 year, an increase
of 89.6% over the previous year.
Students Had Access to 9808 Internships Through UCAN
INTERNSHIP DATABASE
Students may also access the VCC Internship Database, a searchable internship database on the VCC
website, to identify potential internship and employer targets where Vanderbilt students have had
internships.
The database is populated with internship information provided by Vanderbilt students in early fall when
they complete the Summer Experience Survey. Students exploring internship opportunities can search
the database by the following criteria: Vanderbilt school, major, state, company cluster, company industry,
job cluster, or compensation. Students are able to read a description of the internship and learn details
regarding academic credit and pay.

FINANCE MENTORING PROGRAM
2011-2012 was the third year for the Finance Mentoring Program, which paired nine seniors—who had
successful internships—with 25 juniors and sophomores who were seeking summer internships. In this
peer-to-peer relationship, mentees learned a variety of skills including resume writing, researching
companies and networking.
This year’s program was very successful as all nine of the senior mentors accepted full-time finance
or consulting positions upon graduation and 24 of the 25 mentees (96%) reported finding a
summer internship.
HOW WE ARE DOING
STUDENT & EMPLOYER FEEDBACK
STUDENT SATISFACTION
The VCC had an all-time high student satisfaction rating this year. Students expressed greater

internship satisfaction was first asked to students.
Students also had a 70.2% overall satisfaction with Career Services, compared to 53.1% in 2008. This
is an impressive 17.1% increase in just 5 years—the largest increase in student satisfaction for
campus services and facilities.
70.2% of Students Were Satisfied With Career Services
EMPLOYER SATISFACTION
The VCC asked employers to rate their recruiting experience as well as the student preparedness they
encountered at Vanderbilt. The Employer Feedback Survey gave employers the opportunity to critique
student preparation and provide comments after they conducted on-campus interviews. A total of 99
employers from 61 companies completed the Survey between fall 2011 and spring 2012. Feedback
was overwhelmingly positive.
When employers were asked how Vanderbilt students ranked compared to other university students, 80%
of employers ranked Vanderbilt student in the ‘Top 10%’ or ‘Above Average’.

OTHER PARTNERSHIPS
DEVELOPMENT AND ALUMNI RELATIONS
To strengthen the VCC and Alumni Relations partnership, strategic planning sessions occurred between
the leadership of both departments to identify common goals and determine quarterly progress. Through
continued coordination with Alumni Relations, the VCC was able to engage more than 250 alumni in
some type of networking or career education activity for VU students. Collaboration activities included:
•
Opening Dores, a dinner event where alumni by industry cluster tell their stories and network with
undergraduates.
•
Providing key contacts for Vandy at the Capital Alumni Networking and Panel event, Alumni in the
Fields Panels and Career Conversations.
•
VCC and Parents and Family Programs Office co-hosted the third annual Soirée at Sarratt, a
parent/student career-networking event. More than 100 students and 32 parents attended.
OWEN SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT
Through the VCC partnership with Owen Career Management Center, undergraduate students
participated in the Vanderbilt Healthcare Conference Recruiting Fair at the Nashville Convention Center,
attended Training the Street, a widely respected interview prep course offered through the business
school, and 20 VU undergraduates had the opportunity to visit four different finance employers in NYC as
part of Wall Street Trek.
LOOKING AHEAD
Looking ahead to 2012-2013, the VCC has developed a comprehensive strategy designed to help
students map out the knowledge and behaviors that they will need in their professional lives. These
include: identifying strengths and interests, understanding change and managing transitions,
professionalism at school and in the workplace, understanding and pursuing opportunities, and identifying
networks and leveraging personal connections.
By integrating these concepts across campus with the support of our stakeholders, Vanderbilt students
will be better prepared to understand change, manage transition, and embrace opportunities as they
prepare for employment in a rapidly changing world.
