To Do List Prior To Graduation
- If you have already secured employment, please send an e-mail to Nilesh Patel (nileshpatel@wisc.edu) with the name of your employer, starting salary, and how you obtained the position.
- If you have not secured employment, set up a counseling meeting with a Career Services advisor as soon as possible.
- Inform the Career Services Office of a non-wisc.edu e-mail account that you will be using after you graduate. Send an e-mail to nileshpatel@wisc.edu.
Graduate Survey Form
Each year, the Career Services Office Office is required to track the Law School’s graduates for purposes of submitting reports to the ABA and U.S. News and World Report. We gather this information through the Graduate Employment Survey which you can complete in a number of different ways:
Fill out the paper copy of the Survey which will be placed in your hang file a month or two before you graduate, or pick up a blank copy of the Survey form from the Career Services Office;
- Complete the Graduate Employment Survey on Symplicity (just click on the “Graduate Employment Survey” link under the term “quick links” on the Symplicity home page or go to http://www.law.wisc.edu/career/gradsurvey.htm). Please provide this information as soon as you can as it helps our Office advise other students on possible opportunities and starting salary data. Whether you are working full-time or part-time, in a legal, law-related, or non-legal position, please let us know what you are doing.
Please note that the Law School respects your privacy and does not release any personally identifying information that you provide in your Graduate Employment Survey.
