Build more connected and engaged alumni networks through simple, stunning digital class books

[BrightCrowd @BrightCrowd]

New blog! Relying on #volunteer networks to maintain/re-establish relationships w/ #alumni and by using a digital strategy to attract and retain volunteers, #schools can collaborate and improve alumni engagement regardless of their geographical location. https://t.co/7Fka0aaoeG

We're honored to support W&L in re-connecting and engaging their #alumni and #students. The 1200+ pages across their books both reconnects alumni w/ their alma mater, while also providing the institution w/ invaluable data on how to further engage. #highered #fundraising

When it comes to tracking #alumni engagement and #fundraising, there can be a temptation to measure EVERYTHING one can measure. Think about your ultimate KPIs and craft a strategy on how to measure those honestly... https://t.co/qulAqCuJHr #highered #hesm #edtech

Engaged #students who feel connected to #campus are more likely to be engaged #alumni. Hear how #Duke University is using @BrightCrowd to connect their incoming students B4 they arrive: https://t.co/ajCR5qcCz2 #highered #hesm #casesmc @CASEAdvance

Always fun to make house calls for @BrightCrowd partners! Onboarding #studentathletes of #cornell #squash and #tennis and showing them the power of BC books to connect them with program #alumni who can support their career goals. #highered #ncaa @CornellAlumni

#Highered is investing in #fundraising FTEs at an all-time high, meanwhile #alumni participation continues to decline, email opt-outs increase + contact info is unreliable. Engagement is the bridge to #giving and affinity inspires engagement. https://t.co/dUFOQBsGBN #philanthropy

Great stats in #CASEd1d2 about giving societies: “50% of giving societies are all women societies.” Increasingly, we’re supporting these important societies by turning them into a community:

This problem isn't new, but some of the data around the impact of various types of #alumni engagement is. Connect alumni to the people/orgs/teams they care most about, and the odds they become #philanthropic increase. @BrightCrowd will make it happen for you. #highered #hesm

[BrightCrowd @BrightCrowd]

In March 2020, #highered had to quickly pivot to decide how they would garner the #alumni engagement they receive from #reunions / events. Digital strategies excelled during this time and deserve to remain an integral part of the strategy: https://t.co/dqP6UdMJ1M #hesm #casesmc

[BrightCrowd @BrightCrowd]

Schools need/want more #philanthropy, but need to be careful not to sacrifice engagement initiatives in pursuit of it. @BrightCrowd is delivering affordable, high participation engagement that delivers invaluable date w/out the need of a new FTE. We got you, #highered #hesm
