Community colleges have a unique opportunity to engage alumni in ways that strengthen enrollment, career pathways, community partnerships, fundraising, and advocacy. Yet many institutions struggle to maintain meaningful connections with alumni after graduation, resulting in missed opportunities for engagement and support.
This webinar will explore how alumni relations, advancement, enrollment, workforce development, and marketing teams can work together to build lasting relationships with alumni throughout every stage of their lives. Presented by James Smith, Senior Consultant at Gonser Gerber, this session will highlight practical strategies, real-world examples, and proven approaches that help community colleges create engaged alumni communities that contribute their wisdom, work, and wealth back to the institution.
