Alumni Relations Pivot
Entries should demonstrate a new, creative way of engaging alumni during the COVID-19 pandemic. Entries may have an online component, but do not enter online reunions or online events.
For example:
Alumni gift boxes to accompany an online reunion
Do not enter:
Online alumni reunions. Enter those in Special Events: Online (Alumni Reunions)
Online events. Enter those in Special Events: Online (One-time Events) or Special Events: Online (Series)
Judges will score nominations from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest) in these five areas:
Ability to serve as a model for other institutions
Creativity and innovation
Impact and results
Strategy and methodology
Use of resources (budget, people, and time) and return on investment
Judges also may consider:
Quality and clarity of nomination and supporting materials
