Graduating in December? What's Next?

If you are graduating in December, we request your participation in our First Destination Survey. Why respond? If you're still seeking an opportunity, we will follow up to meet with you and create a plan. If you already have plans, it will help us understand where NJCU students advance on to work, study, or even serve (including the Peace Corps and military).

Sharing your feedback will help current and future students navigate their First Destination after NJCU. 

As a bonus for participating, individuals who respond to the survey will also be entered into a drawing for $50 Visa gift cards!
