Here are some interesting results from the PDO Geographic Survey that was sent out at the beginning of the summer. We will be utilizing these results to strengthen our efforts in targeting employers from the geographical areas in which you are focusing your job search. These results give us a tool in order to let employers across the nation know that our students truly are interested in them. We will also focus on contacting new mentors from these areas. We would like to thank those of you who participated in the survey this year.
