*This role will be based out of the Rose Hill Campus*

The Student Engagement Strategist (SES) team is an integral part of telling the Fordham undergraduate story. Each year, Fordham tracks the outcomes of every graduating senior in order to develop a fuller understanding of how students use their Fordham education. We ask questions like: Where are graduates working? Are they attending grad school? Are they doing a year of service? How many graduates stay in New York? This data helps us identify our strengths and our weaknesses, and provide areas for improvement year after year. By collecting this data, the SES team contributes to the long-term growth of the University, and the Career Center specifically.

Fordham reaches out to 100% of the graduating class to typically reach a 90% knowledge rate. For comparison, the minimum national standard is 65%. We can only accomplish this with a dedicated team full of people driven to see Fordham students succeed!
