| First Destination Survey Career Services is interested in learning all about the amazing plans our soon-to-be graduating students have in store following the academic year! Whether you have already accepted a job, continuing your education through a graduate program, volunteering or still exploring what is next, please take a few minutes today to complete your First-Destination Survey about your post-graduation plans. 
We realize that, for many graduating students, plans may still be undetermined. It is more important than usual to understand the many directions Syracuse graduates take when they earn their degrees. This survey also helps faculty and staff support students who have not yet secured plans, along with recommending Career Coaching opportunities to help you define and achieve professional success. We appreciate your participation in this survey today! Join Career Services for some upcoming Class of 2023 events: Class of 2023 Launch Party – Friday, May 5th
