What's next for the Class of 2007
Each year, seniors complete a survey to tell us about their post-Pomona plans. Typically, between 20 to 25 percent go directly to graduate or professional school, 30 percent have full-time positions, 30 to 35 percent are looking for employment or are planning "gap years," approximately 10 percent have fellowships, and the rest are undecided. For details on this year’s class go online.

If you're part of the Class of 2007 -- or any class for that matter -- the Career Development Office is available to assist as you consider the many possibilities ahead.
