Abstract	A followup survey of 1962 to 1974 alumni of Queensborough Community College (QCC) was initiated in spring 1975 to gather information on their education attainments, fields of employment, current educational activities, earnings, perceptions of QCC and suggestions to improve the college. A total of 3,015 graduates responded, or 40.7%. Summary analyses produced the following data: (1) age at graduation averaged 23.8 years; (2) 52.6% were female, 47.4% male; (3) 77.8% continued their education, with 49.1% attending another college and 53.4% of these earning another degree; (4) 81.6% of those who attended another college continued studies related to QCC training; (5) 3.7% went on to vocational/technical schools; and (6) 45.8% were currently attending school. Data on current employment status showed that 67.6% were in jobs related to QCC training; the median salary was $12,351; and 33% were employed in business, 9.2% in industry, 5.1% in government, 17.2% in health, 21.1% in education, and 14.4% in other fields. In addition to summaries, data are given between year-of-graduation and between curriculum. Appendices include the survey questionnaire, an analysis of the sample population, a list of the schools attended by graduates, and a table indicating frequency of responses by curriculum and year.
