Judith Levine

Judith Levine will work on a book examining how college seniors transition to employment. Drawing on 280 interviews with over one hundred college seniors at an urban university in the Northeast, Levine will compare the experiences of first-generation and continuing-generation college students. She will also examine how the transition to employment varies for first-generation college students by race, ethnicity, and gender. She will investigate the role of institutional resources in universities, such as career services, college professors, research jobs on campus, and other social connections, in helping recent graduates land their first job.
