Each year, the Loeb Center for Career Exploration and Planning at Amherst College conducts a first-destination survey with graduates asking about their first steps six months after graduation. The responses we collect help future Amherst students prepare for their career and post-graduation goals.
Members of the graduating class of 2021 can report their first destination plans in Handshake. If you have questions, email: careers@amherst.edu.
