Jeane, Certainly, there are difficulties one faces in setting up an Alumni Website and probably the most difficult is the financial piece. You may want to consider starting small by using a Facebook format or, possibly, a simple content management system that someone on staff at your institution can handle. As you begin to 'connect' with your grads and gather alumni success stories and graduate involvement, it may be easier for the administration to see the incredible benefit of these connections and budget accordingly.
