Alumni Community
The alumni community is vital to the institution. It provides insight to prospective students.
Ruth,
They are a valuable resource. Invite them to return to campus to share their experiences. They will inspire you.

Todd,
Yes, but start building your alumni before they graduate. Consider future graduates as part of the college community is a head start in building your alumni.

Alumni are a great resource and help the prospective student visualize where they could be in the future. We are a small, relatively new college and haven't had many alumni. It's easy to forget to use them as a resource. I'm envious when attending college fairs and all the larger colleges have tables staffed by alumni... a goal for our future!!
This is an additional challenge for a new school - there are no alumni to draw on.
merlene,
Alumni a rich resource for your school. They are our legacy, your success, and inspiration for others.
