Alumni Associations

Alumni Association Challenges

You already know that college grads are using social networks like Facebook and LinkedIn to connect with each other –without being part of fee based alumni organizations. Connecting directly to each other using a few mouse clicks, they can fuse lifelong bonds, help each other personally and professionally in near real time. The biggest challenge facing Alumni Associations today is being ready to embrace these new technologies rather than ignoring them. When students and alumni are already connected online then what role does the Alumni Association play?

The most successful alumni associations are meeting their members where they’re at by connecting with them online and via mobile. Getting alumnus  to participate with alumni sponsored programs at any level has huge win for the institution. If you’re not integrating all your communication channels with all the possible devices and ways for alumnus to pay then you are missing out on valuable information that may effect your schools overall ranking.

The top alumni programs have learned how to turn their own members into raving fans that promote alumni involvement and events. HOW?
