Director of OCS Bill Wright-Swadel called Hunt a “valued member of [the Harvard] community” and said the entire office was concerned about the situation. Hunt’s employment status was at the time undecided, Wright-Swadel said.
Bill Wright-Swadel, director of the Office of Career Services, says he sees the increasing proportion of undecided students as a largely positive trend.
“I wish more students who took jobs acknowledged that they were actually undecided,” he said.
He said the recent rise in students who lack concrete plans is due in large part to the decline in recruiting that accompanied the economic downturn. Less aggressive recruiting means fewer opportunities for undecided students to take jobs simply for the sake of being employed.
Wright-Swadel also attributes the rise in undecided seniors to an increasing tendency among graduate schools to encourage students to take several years off between their undergraduate and professional educations.
