  • The Career Development Center needs to publish its annual outcomes report, which highlights post-graduate employment, internship trends, and program impact. The raw data were dense, drawn from first-destination surveys and public sources, and required a professional, accessible design to communicate effectively with multiple audiences (students, leadership, and external partners).

    Objectives

    • Reinforce the Career Center’s role as a strategic resource for students and leadership.

    Action Steps

    • Gathered raw data from Handshake and survey responses, cleaned and structured it for analysis.

    • Designed infographics and data visualizations to illustrate trends (employment rates, top industries, internship participation).

    • Structured the report into thematic sections for readability: employment outcomes, internships, graduate school data, and program highlights.

    • Applied Emerson’s institutional branding and visual identity guidelines to ensure consistency with other College communications.

    • Produced the final report in Adobe InDesign, balancing visual design with clarity and accessibility.

    Result

    • Delivered a polished 20+ page publication that was distributed to institutional leadership, alumni donors, and external partners.

    • The report became a reference document used in board meetings, strategic planning, and accreditation reviews.

    • Improved accessibility of complex data, making outcomes easier to share with students and external stakeholders.

    • Helped position the Career Development Center as a data-driven, student-focused office.
