Alumni Outcomes Our alumni are taking ownership of their legacy and rising to the challenges ahead of them. To remain responsive to alumni needs, we conduct annual surveys to discover whether certain patterns in college equate to more successful career outcomes. We measure quantitative and qualitative outcomes because equity matters in our workforce and our society. We know our alumni are taking control of their futures because they: Graduate college at a rate more than 2x the national average for their low- income, first generation peers and outperform the national average for ALL college students. 16 Manage their debt and pay back their loans with their first job out of college. Choose careers that help others access opportunities. Fifty percent of College Track alumni are in social services fields, such as education, law, social work or criminal justice.
