Each year the Office of Careers, Life, and Service (CLS) produces a post-graduation report. I've just received my copy of the report for the class of 2014 and it is impressive. Just as Grinnell students come from a diverse background, they also have diverse destinations upon graduating from Grinnell. The report is loaded with information, but here are a few quick things I found interesting.
 |
| Seth Howard spent the past year volunteering for Mid-Iowa Community Action as part of Grinnell Corps |
1. Roughly 60% of the class has entered straight into the job force, with 23% continuing their education, and 13% involved in service or volunteer activities.
 |
| Max Keller is working as a lab technician at Eurofins Nutrition Analysis Center in Des Moines. |
2. The graduates who entered directly into the workforce are doing so by choice, not by lack of options, 88% have a position that is related to their career goals.
 |
| TJ Goetz is working as an analyst at Principal Financial in Des Moines. |
3. Of those that are currently employed full-time, the average yearly salary is $42,743. The top 10% of those average an impressive $89,167! Whoa!
 |
| Andrew Clark is working at Koch Industries in Wichita, KS. |
4. Among those who are currently continuing their education, 40% are pursuing a PhD. Grinnell has traditionally been in the top five for most PhD's per capita, and it looks like the trend is continuing.
 |
| Manager/Filmer Steph Haines just completed her Masters in Higher Education at Harvard |

 |
| Track standout Christine Ajinjeru is pursuing her PhD in mechanical engineering at the University of Tennessee |
Congratulations to the entire class of '14. Keep up the great work!
