BS in Environmental Science, Alumni Report
2017 Survey Results
At the end of 2017, IoES conducted our bi-annual alumni survey. Nearly 35% (190 of 551) of our total alumni answered. It was very gratifying to all of us here at the IoES to see all of the amazing things alumni are doing, from prestigious graduate degrees to incredible jobs. We wanted to share some of this with all of you so you can see what kind of community can be built from the alumni base of the undergraduate degree program. We hope you will find it as interesting and motivating as we did.
