It goes without saying that every college student hopes to have a job in their chosen field after receiving their diploma on graduation day. Suffolk University recently unveiled a project called “Suffolk 365” that documents more than 600 members of the Class of 2012 and where they are now, including former Journal Editor-in-Chief Derek Anderson. This project is not only interesting but helps ease the mind of current students who might worry about how difficult the real world might be.

Suffolk 365 documents both Sawyer Business School and College of Arts and Science 2012 graduates, profiling students working at places anywhere from WHDH to Boston Medical Center. This project is the first of its kind during our current editorial staff’s time at Suffolk and is an idea that is sure to gain interest from plenty of current students. It also helps create a greater sense of community that doesn’t end after graduating for alumni.

We would argue it’s not a generalization that college students, especially those in their junior and senior years worry about just how easy it will be to start their career post-graduation. Suffolk 365 helps ease that stress and show that if you keep your nose to the grind during school, employers will welcome you into your chosen field. Stepping into the real world is not an easy thing to do but these alumni prove it doesn’t always have to be a daunting task.

Suffolk 365 is a great project that hopefully becomes an annual staple, continuing to highlight members of recent graduating classes. It helps current students feel better about life after graduation and graduates stay connected to Suffolk.

Correction: Due to an editing error, a previous version of this staff editorial incorrectly stated that NESAD students are not included in the 365 project.
