First Destination Survey
It's time to submit your First Destination Survey! Let us know about your next steps and how PLACE can support you.
To complete the survey, log into the Handshake app and select "Career Center," then "First Destination Survey," or follow the direct link to Handshake. If your plans change after submitting the survey, you can fill it out again or let us know at place@roanoke.edu.
Prior to graduation, you'll also receive an emailed invitation to take the Senior Exit Survey. We encourage you to monitor your email for this important opportunity to submit feedback on your experience in your major, sport, or other groups and activities.
