Please join me in North Georgia next week at GEAC for two sessions: (1) Engagement Measures in the Digital Age and (2) Alumni Engagement - What to Start, Stop, and Continue. If you are attending Nov. 13 or 14, send me a DM so we can be sure to meet up. #alumni #advancement

[Jay Le Roux Dillon, Ed.D. @jayldillon]

#Alumni are people, TOO. What if we appealed to who they are today instead of who they were in school? @advserv podcast host Jay Ballinger and I agree, disagree, and argue new approaches to alumni and donor #engagement in 🎙 https://t.co/yQuGWPmlSZ #highered #advancement

It’s a pleasure to be a part of bringing data into the conversation about Alumni and Belonging. Read more at https://t.co/NJHHyyzWhk

We've been talking about questions & myths at #CASEAllDistricts, how about diving into *Data, Diversity, and Alumni Identities* with me? Find this session TODAY, Feb. 18 at 11:15 a.m. PT. Through data we'll explore a tough question: Are donor demographics the enemy of equity? 🤔

[Jay Le Roux Dillon, Ed.D. @jayldillon]

@DocMastracchio @SMDuke There are many approaches. The one I advocate is looking to alumni identities to gauge engagement and predict future philanthropy. You can test your own alumni identity at https://t.co/IgJ7auTlzb. It takes about 2 mins. Let me know what you think!

[Jay Le Roux Dillon, Ed.D. @jayldillon]

What’s the biggest MYTH in #highered #fundraising today? There’s a lot of myth-busting going on at #CASEAllDistricts. What’s your fav to debunk? Mine: “Alumni who were engaged as students are most likely to give.” Where did this come from? Show me the data, not the anecdotes. 👀

[Jay Le Roux Dillon, Ed.D. @jayldillon]

@SMDuke Indeed! Engagement depends on what’s important to the alum and not the structures of the institution. When I’ve done Alumni Identity studies at schools with BA completion programs, those graduates report slightly higher feelings of connection as compared to traditional students.

@thankviews 👨‍🦰 not a big fan of the redhead emoji but I am authorized to use it.

[Jay Le Roux Dillon, Ed.D. @jayldillon]

@ScottFrancisECU Thank you, Scott. That gives this redhead a little confidence going in! Bring a tough question or two and I’ll see you then.

[Jay Le Roux Dillon, Ed.D. @jayldillon]

@NoahDrezner @AnnaSchlia @JasonCGarvey @OrenPizmonyLevy Thanks for the share! Always impressed by how you pursue these lines of inquiry.

[Jay Le Roux Dillon, Ed.D. @jayldillon]

@thankviews You better send a copy of your findings to this redhead.
