At Grinnell College’s Career Learning Services, I worked on a project to transform graduate outcome data into visually engaging formats. The goal was to make the data easier to understand and use for students, faculty, and stakeholders.

Existing reports were text-heavy and stored in spreadsheets, making it difficult to identify trends or extract actionable insights. This limited the ability to make informed decisions based on the data.

We developed dynamic visualizations like heatmaps and trend graphs to transform static graduate data into interactive, user-friendly insights. This shift allowed stakeholders to explore employment trends and industry outcomes intuitively.

The visualizations improved data accessibility, enhancing the ability of CLS staff to share insights with stakeholders and support student career planning.
