Stephanie, Hi Stephanie. Interesting assignment.We believe that graduates are an incredible resource to career schools. As you point out, they can talk with new and prospective students and are very credible. Grads can also refer qualified students for enrollment and handle many many other tasks helping out with all departments including student services, placement, and in the classroom. That's a reason to keep in touch with grads via an Alumni Community. In fact, if you want to know more, MaxK offers a course on how to set up Alumni groups specifically at career schools. Thanks, Susan Dr. Susan Schulz
