This document outlines a project to determine the effectiveness of an undergraduate public health program by researching alumni employment and education outcomes. It will locate student information, send surveys, search social media, and analyze results to increase documented alumni outcomes to 85% for accreditation purposes. Previous years found employment for 45% of graduates and graduate school for 18%, but were missing data on 37% of students. The project aims to strengthen the program and school through improved data collection using social media and surveys.
