ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
Is this as simple as developing an association where graduates that choose to are kept on file and continue correspondence about the relative program and job placement etc...?
Arturo,
Alumni are the best advertisement you have on the personal side. Their involvement shows future student that it is a great place to get an education.

Career Services should develop a healthy and active Alumni Association that we can use as a resource and firsthand experience in talking and sharing with prospective students.
Also the use of social media webbsites as LinkedIn
and Facebook are another great tool to promote and measure the quality and the reputation of our institution.
Sarah,
So cool! Alumni are such a valuable asset to any schools. they are a resource for personally developed leads and are rich in experience as a student.

Alumni are invited to our Homecoming every year, this gives opportunities for current students and alumni to interact with one another, which definitely helps with what to do after graduation. They are able to provide insight for current students that faculty and staff are not able to provide.
Maria,
It is very helpful. It keeps everyone connected as they progress through their careers.

Linkedin Groups is a great way to keep up with alumni
Erica,
Yes! Your alumni are your graduates that have moved on to other pursuits. They're wonderful resource for keeping in touch with past students and possibly producing personally developed leads..
