Alumni and Graduate Engagement Systems

Alumni systems

Higher education institutions can draw on significant, often underused resources through their graduates. Bringing alumni together and maintaining their emotional, professional and institutional connections can create opportunities in a wide range of areas.

• cost-effective institutional communication and promotion;
• expanding participation in professional training and conferences;
• arranging work placements and connecting students with hosts;
• supporting a multi-generational professional talent pipeline;
• supporting professional and ethical initiatives;
• establishing patronage opportunities and alumni scholarships for students in need or with outstanding results;
• delivering values-based social responsibility initiatives;
• helping meet the institution’s human-resources needs.

When selecting and introducing an alumni system, development or licence costs and the choice between internal and external operational resources must also be considered.

Staff development

Protecting the mental health of higher education staff, developing their skills and supporting emotional growth are increasingly important responsibilities for employers.
