Due to the initial success of the response rate, the University required survey
participation as a component of the graduation application process beginning
with the August 2011 graduation class. The survey results have proven to
be extremely valuable as a method of telling the Gator Story and supporting
increased inquiries regarding accountability measures to such entities as the
Governor’s office, the Board of Trustees, and campus stakeholders.
In 2013, the Center created the CRC Snapshot, an annual report for each college
based on student usage and employer participation for each respective college.
College deans and administrators were able to review data specifically about
students enrolled in their college pertaining to career planning topics; job
postings for their respective students in Gator CareerLink; salary ranges based
on major; principal activities upon graduation; and more. The snapshots provided
incredible metrics and helped to further build relationships with several faculty
and staff in various colleges.
