You've heard it many times: We're in the relationship business.

But how do you build and maintain relationships with your alumni when they're scattered across the globe? Should you even try?

For educational institutions pondering whether to implement an international alumni program or for those wishing to improve their existing programs, Being Global: Making the Case for International Alumni Relations can offer guidance and insight.

Being Global also includes a wealth of information about best practices being implemented by independent schools, colleges, universities and business schools around the world. These concrete examples look closely at managing from a distance, student-alumni programs, programming with faculty and signature programs. A comprehensive appendix list points you to hundreds of additional resources on these topics and more.

Is international alumni relations right for your institution? Let this book help you find the way to an answer.

Also available as a softcover book.
