More About Our Surveys
First Destination Survey
After commencement ceremonies, we invite our graduates to share about their post-graduation plans. St. Thomas partners with the Career Leadership Collective to administer the First Destination Survey. Responses help us shape our services and resources so we can better prepare and support student and graduate career success from first jobs through retirement.

NACM seeks feedback about educational satisfaction, career pathways, career satisfaction, economic mobility and community engagement. St. Thomas uses this feedback to improve experiences for current and future Tommies.
