Building a strong young alumni network starts long before graduation. By collaborating with student life, advancement professionals can create seamless, engaging experiences that foster a sense of connection from day one. This session will explore strategies for working alongside student affairs colleagues—including Greek life leaders—to cultivate a culture of engagement that carries students through their university journey and into their alumni years. From leveraging leadership programs, affinity groups, and Greek life connections, we’ll discuss practical approaches to strengthening the student-to-alumni pipeline. We’ll also highlight fundraising opportunities tied to these partnerships, ensuring alumni relations efforts start well before commencement. Attendees will leave with actionable insights on breaking down silos, maximizing campus collaborations, and creating lifelong engagement touchpoints.
