Student and Alumni Success
The students and graduates of the iSchool have enjoyed considerable career success. Between their first and second year of study, many iSchool students take summer jobs with a variety of information organizations, including Library and Archives Canada, the Library of Parliament, the University of Toronto Libraries and other locations. Many of these summer positions are funded by special government programs such as the Federal Student Work Experience Program, Young Canada Works and various provincial programs.
According to the most recent salary survey (2005) on the Faculty's website, the median salary of FIS graduates is approximately $49,000 per year. Of the 104 students who received the MISt degree in 2005, 33 responded to the survey. Given the considerable increase in the Faculty's enrollment (the 2007-2008 academic saw approximately two hundred students start their program that year), it is unclear if this change will affect employment.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or success:
“The student who secures his coveted leisure and retirement by systematically shirking any labor necessary to man obtains but an ignoble and unprofitable leisure, defrauding himself of the experience which alone can make leisure fruitful.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A religion so cheerless, a philosophy so sorrowful, could never have succeeded with the masses of mankind if presented only as a system of metaphysics. Buddhism owed its success to its catholic spirit and its beautiful morality.”
—W. Winwood Reade (1838–1875)
