On Demand Program
Depending on your institution, your admission, alumni engagement, and development functions may all be housed in the Advancement Office. More commonly, admission may be separated from alumni engagement and development on the organizational chart. Alternatively, these departments may all be in different buildings, in various parts of town, or even in multiple offices at your institution.
No matter the scenario, it can be all too easy for staff from each of these three teams to work in their own silos – or worse yet – have tension and friction between them because of the specific nature of their work.
While each have their own unique challenges, expectations, and strategic objectives, there are also ways that admission, alumni engagement, and development can collaborate to achieve their goals and enhance each other’s’ work. Working together toward the goal of furthering the mission of your institution will yield greater results overall than remaining in silos.
Join us for this webinar, presented by Kent Huyser, Partner, as we discuss the ways you can pull it all together to have these three important teams working collaboratively for the betterment of your institution.
Topics we will cover include:
- How does admission, alumni engagement, and development advance our institutions?
- How are they different? How are they similar?
- What information can be shared to help achieve each other’s objectives?
- Legal and confidential information, including student records and legacy admission policies, and how to work within those parameters
- Examples of cross-functional collaboration that can be implemented at your institution
