1. Talk to students about the survey (its importance, its benefits for them, and how it will work) before they graduate,
2. Encourage graduates to respond quickly, which results in the greatest likelihood that they will respond at all,
3. Enclose stamped and addressed return envelopes with the surveys,
4. Follow up on those who have not responded within a reasonable period of time (by phone or by sending another survey form), and
5. Follow though with referrals and contacts about job openings to maximize and demonstrate the value of the survey to those graduates who participate.
