First Destination Survey

Your story matters! Each year the UCR Career Center hosts the First-Destination Survey to capture information regarding the first career steps of UCR graduates within six months of graduation. They proudly track and highlight these outcomes that constitute the UCR success story. We believe every story matters, and this survey is about each student's unique journey and their first destination.

Share your first career story to inspire current and future UCR students.

Join a Regional Network or Identity Chapter

Joining a regional network or identity chapter is the best way to stay involved with UCR while networking and staying close to those alumni close to you. We encourage you to choose a regional network in your area, an identity chapter that you resonate with, or keep in touch with your college or school of study.
