This looks like very strong results for the 2025 class. Geographically, students found employment around the country. Starting salary continues to increase. Lots of well known firms hiring graduates as well. All in all, I am very pleased with the results.
I’ve posted this before, but I think repeating the class profile as well as upcoming admissions deadlines is helpful.
