2008 or 2009 for the 2018–2019 administration We calculated the response rate by dividing an institution's number of responses, including those alumni who did not fall into one of the cohorts included in the report, by the number of emails successfully delivered through Qualtrics *Institution used authentication method, and response rates for these institutions not factor in bounced email addresses Information about graphs and tables in this report “Primary activity of alumni” graph The data presented in this graph comes from responses to Q1, “Please indicate which of the following describes your current PRIMARY activity.” We collapsed the nine responses from the original variable into the five categories seen in the graph The “Employed” category has the “Employed, full-time,” “Employed, part-time,” and the “Employed, multiple jobs” responses The “Graduate or professional school” category has the “Graduate or professional school, full-time“ and the “Graduate or professional school, part-time” responses The “Not employed” category has the “Not employed, but seeking employment, admission to graduate school, or other opportunity” and the “Not employed, and not seeking employment or admission to graduate school (homemaker, traveling, volunteer, retired, etc.)” responses The “Volunteer or national service” and the “Military service” categories not combine responses “Current primary job of employed alumni” graph The data presented in this graph comes from responses to Q21, “What is your CURRENT primary job?” We collapsed the response options from the original variable into the 12 broad categories seen in the graph See the "Appendix" tab to view the 12 broad categories in bold followed by their response options “Percent of alumni who reported the following about their current jobs” graph The data presented in this graph comes from responses to Q22, “Please indicate whether each of the following descriptions applies to your current job.” We calculated the percentages by dividing the number of alumni who selected each response option by the total number of alumni who answered the question and selected anything except for “I am not currently employed." “Annual pre-tax income of alumni” graph The data presented in this graph comes from responses to Q26, “Which of the following most accurately describes your current personal annual income before taxes? Please report your personal income, not your total household income.” We collapsed 14 of the response options from the original variable into the seven categories seen in the graph We excluded those who selected, “I prefer not to respond” from our calculations The “Less than $20,000” category includes the “No earned income” and the “Less than $20,000” response options The “$100,000-$179,999” category includes the “$100,000–$119,999,” “$120,000–$139,999,” “$140,000–$159,999,” and the “$160,000–$179,999” response options The “$180,000 or more” category includes the “$180,000–$199,999,” “$200,000–$219,999,” “$220,000–$240,000,” and the “More than $240,000” response options The rest of the categories not combine response options © 2018 Higher Education Data Sharing Consortium of HEDS Alumni Survey 2018–2019 Summary Report Reed College “Amount borrowed by alumni and/or their families to finance attending college” graph The data presented in this graph comes from responses to Q24, “At the time you graduated, what was the total amount that you and/or your family borrowed to finance your undergraduate education at this institution?” We collapsed the 15 response options from the original variable into the seven categories seen in the graph The “Less than $20,000” category includes the “Less than $5,000,” “$5,000–$9,999,” “$10,000–$14,999,” and the “$15,000–$19,999” response options The “$20,000–$39,999” category includes the “$20,000–$29,999” and the “$30,000–$39,999” response options The “$40,000–$59,999” category includes the “$40,000–$49,999” and the “$50,000–$59,999” response options The “$60,000–$79,999” category includes the “$60,000–$69,999” and the “$70,000–$79,999” response options The “$80,000 or more” category includes the “$80,000–$89,999,” “$90,000–$99,999,” and the “$100,000 or more” response options The rest of the categories not combine response options “Percent of alumni who experienced high levels of the following good practices” graph This file contains information on five dimensions of undergraduate experience The three included indicators and their reliabilities are: • Good Teaching and High-Quality Interactions with Faculty – statements, Cronbach's ⍺ = 0.91 • Challenging Assignments and High Faculty Expectations – 14 questions, Cronbach's ⍺ = 0.89 • Interactions with Diversity – questions, Cronbach's ⍺ = 0.86 These three dimensions are based on indicators that the Center of Inquiry developed and validated in the Wabash National Study Please note that only those seniors who answered every question in the indicator receive a score To calculate each score, we recoded the response options for each scale into a 100-point scale For the Good Teaching indicator: 0=Strongly disagree, 25=Disagree, 50=Neither agree nor disagree, 75=Agree, and 100=Strongly agree For the Challenging Assignments and Diversity indicators: 0=Never, 25=Rarely, 50=Sometimes, 75=Often, and 100=Very often We averaged the recoded response options for each item in an indicator to calculate the indicator score We consider indicator scores of 70 and above to be high levels of these good practices "Percent of alumni who reported high levels of growth on the following outcomes" graph This file contains information on five dimensions of undergraduate experience The two included outcomes and their reliabilities are: • Growth on Intellectual Outcomes – 10 questions, Cronbach's ⍺ = 0.88 • Growth on Civic Outcomes – questions, Cronbach's ⍺ = 0.83 These two dimensions are based on indicators that the Center of Inquiry developed and validated in the Wabash National Study Please note that only those seniors who answered every question in the indicator receive a score To calculate each score, we recoded the response options for each scale into a 100-point scale For the Growth on Intellectual Outcomes indicator: 0=Very little, 33.33=Some, 66.67=Quite a bit, and 100=Very much For the Growth on Civic Outcomes indicator: 0=Very little, 33.33=Some, 66.67=Quite a bit, and 100=Very much We averaged the recoded response options for each item in an indicator to calculate the indicator score We consider indicator scores of 70 and above to be high levels of these good practices “High-participation activities and their impact on alumni learning and personal development" table The data in this table are from Q12, “To what extent did your experience with each of the following [activities] as an undergraduate at this institution contribute to your learning and personal development?” We ranked the 17 activities listed in this question (excluding "Other") from highest to lowest based on the number of your alumni who a) indicated that they participated in that activity in Q11, and b) chose to evaluate the impact of that activity in Q12 The table lists the top five activities that your alumni participated in most often and the proportion of your alumni who reported that those activities were "high impact" - i.e., contributed "Very much" or "Quite a bit" to their learning and personal development For comparison purposes, we also show the percent of alumni at all other institutions who reported that those activities were high impact “Percent of alumni who reported that their undergraduate experience 'very much' prepared them for the following activities” graph The data presented in this graph comes from responses to Q9, “Overall, to what extent did your undergraduate experience at this institution prepare you for the following activities?” “Percent of alumni who reported that they were 'very satisfied' with or had a 'very strong connection' to their undergraduate institution” The data presented in this graph comes from responses to Q13, “How connected you feel to this institution?” and Q14, “Overall, how satisfied have you been with your undergraduate education at this institution?” Cohort Comparison worksheet -
