This figure is slightly above the national average for recent graduates of $41,701, as reported by the National Association of Colleges and Employers. 
College graduates' difficulties finding employment were highlighted by an Associated Press report last week that said that about 1.5 million, or 53.6 percent, of bachelor's degree-holders under the age of 25 were jobless or underemployed last year.
The survey was emailed to all seniors, 214 of whom replied. Of those, 84 percent are currently seeking or have successfully found paid post-graduate employment; the other 16 percent are pursuing other opportunities, such as graduate school. Of those entering the labor market, 57 percent have found employment, while 43 percent are still looking.

Racer-X, which performed during the fall semester and last Thursday for Ivies, has customarily been a part of the Senior Week festivities. After perusing the E-Board's list of artists, the council seized the opportunity to offer something different and booked mash-up artist Sex Ray Vision.
"Why do we need to see Racer-X twice in one month?" asked Matt Ramos '12, Class Council vice president.

Whoever sent the letter has thus far guarded their anonymity, and the message's claims remain unsubstantiated. 
The email's authors did not respond when contacted by the Orient. The stated purpose of the email was to encourage the SAFC to conduct an investigation of the Outing Club, but the inconsistent logic of the message, its meandering composition, and the authors' refusal to provide evidence to corroborate their allegations have prevented the SAFC from conducting a formal investigation.

Compared to the November 2011 survey, approval of the CPC dropped 16 points, from 74 percent approval to 58 percent.
"Saying that they care about fields besides finance and consulting doesn't make it true," one student wrote. "I got no significant help in my job search. [I was] just told over and over to use more action verbs in my resume and given the web page of links that their interns come up with."

Director of Safety and Security Randy Nichols called the event "as a whole, a successful Ivies," noting that "the Brunswick police had virtually no interaction with any Bowdoin students."
One Bowdoin student was transported from Coles Tower due to overconsumption of alcohol and energy drinks last Friday. According to Nichols, one transport is "fairly typical for a standard weekend, so we were pleased," given Ivies' potential for more
