Class of 2025 First Destination Survey

Faculty and staff, please encourage seniors to take just 3–5 minutes to share their post-graduation plans by completing the First Destination Survey. This quick survey plays a vital role in helping Saint Mary’s better understand how our graduates are doing and how we can continue to prepare current students, new alumni, and prospective students for career and graduate school success.

It also helps tell the story of Saint Mary’s student outcomes—highlighting the successes of our graduates and enhancing the value of a Saint Mary’s degree.

Currently, we’ve received responses from 22% of the Class of 2025.

Seniors’ participation is essential. The data gathered supports:

  • National college rankings

  • Academic program improvement

  • University marketing efforts

All responses are reported in aggregate—no identifying information is shared or sold.

Seniors can scan the QR code to complete the survey. All who submit by June 1, 2025, will be entered into a drawing to win a pair of Beats Studio Pro Bluetooth Wireless Headphones.

If a student is still exploring opportunities, they can submit the survey now and update their outcome within six months of graduation.

For students seeking career support during this transition, please encourage them to connect with Career Services by making an appointment through Handshake or emailing careerservices@smumn.edu.

Students who’ve already completed the survey can stop by the Career Services table at the Toner entrance following graduation rehearsal and the senior luncheon on May 2.

Thank you for your continued support in helping us gather this important data for the Class of 2025.
