Discover how strategic collaboration between College Advancement, Enrollment Services, Student Support Services, and College Advancement and Alumni Relations is transforming student, veteran, and alumni engagement. This dynamic session introduces the “front porch” concept—a welcoming, cross-functional gateway that connects campus and community, current students, college affiliated veterans, alumni and non-degreed alumni. Learn how alumni and affinity groups are being activated to support recruitment, re-enrollment of non-degreed alumni, and student success initiatives like emergency aid and basic needs support. Through real examples and early wins, we’ll show how integrated outreach, shared storytelling, and co-led campaigns are creating meaningful volunteer opportunities and lasting connections. Perfect for alumni and volunteer relations professionals looking to deepen impact, drive engagement, and build partnerships that span the student-to-alumni journey. Leave with practical strategies to elevate collaboration across divisions and bring new energy to your alumni programming.
