AskUCSO - You Are More Than Just Data

by Shannon Tollison, UCSO Help Desk Assistant

Hello there folks,

Around this time of year, you get this question quite frequently from parents, fellow students, and friends: “What are you doing this summer?!” Well here at the UCSO, we’re going to ask you the same thing. We want to know what your plans are! But there are other reasons it’s important beside pure interest.

Ultimately, the UCSO is here to help our students. When we have updated and complete information, we can serve students that much better. When you report your offer, you tell us where the job is, the pay, and what field you are in. Obviously all of this is kept confidential. However, the statistics really help students and future students when considering their offers. We want this information so we can provide accurate data when referencing the current job market and how Kelley is succeeding! For example, our internship placement for juniors is 92%! However, it might be higher. We’ll never know because some people never got the chance to report their offer.

Well here’s your chance! Please help us serve students best by reporting your offer. The easiest way is go to https://ucso.indiana.edu/cgi-bin/OfferAcceptance/students/index.cfm (or go to the UCSO Website --> Students tab --> Report Employment).

And then click which applies to you. Accepting an internship/full-time offer? Awesome. Are you going to graduate school? Great! We have an option for that. Deciding to postpone your job search for now? You can report that too! You can also email us at ucso@indiana.edu or simply stop by the help desk!

We get calls from prospective students on a weekly basis asking what our ranking is compared to other business schools. With your help, we can continue our tradition of success in all the rankings. Hope you’ve had a wonderful semester so far, and enjoy our warm Bloomington weather!
