REGRESSION RESULTS: IMPACT OF
VARIOUS COLLEGE BEHAVIORS ON
CAREER OUTCOMES
This year we asked students several questions
about possible behaviors in college that
could influence career outcomes. Many

of data collection to gather sufficient
responses. Below we share a handful of
predictive behaviors where we had at least 45
responses (combining graduates from 2016
and 2015)- some not yet conclusive.
