Now more than ever, offering experiences that are mutually rewarding and fulfilling is critical to building the solid and meaningful relationships that keep our alumni engaged with our schools. Research tells us that young alumni are especially interested in networking opportunities, mentoring current students, and volunteering for their alma mater as ways to stay connected. But how do you offer these programs sustainably and meaningfully, especially if you have limited alumni office resources?

Head-Royce School in Oakland, CA, will share how their one-person alumni office built a comprehensive alumni-student engagement program - Adulting 101 - which provides alumni with the opportunity to engage with the school in a way where they feel truly valued and that also provides a unique-to-market value proposition for the school. They will share how Adulting 101 began almost a decade ago, leveraging existing resources and partnerships to create a program that benefits alumni, students, and faculty and provides a key differentiator for their school.

Doable and scalable for independent schools of any size, tap into and showcase the full potential of your alumni community and the power it has to enhance the educational experience for students while strengthening their connection to your school.
