Abstract | This article reports on the results of a two-year project to strengthen and enhance alumni relations programmes at European universities. Members of the "Alumni go Europe" partnership include CASE Europe, the University of Linz in Austria, the University of Navarra in Spain, and the University of Siegen in Germany. The project is funded as part of the European Commission's Lifelong Learning programme. The report, which is available at no cost, features proven ideas and suggestions as well as group findings for alumni relations practitioners, especially those who are new to the field. A few examples of lessons learned in the report include: (1) Working with volunteers and students to help alumni relations practitioners support the activity; (2) Organizing fewer, more focused events each year. Concentrate on running those events which have good attendance levels; (3) Organizing low-cost events where possible by sharing costs with other departments; and (4) Being targeted and realistic about what you can do when it comes to online communications-don't follow every new trend just for the sake of it. From 2008 to 2010, alumni relations practitioners with the University of Linz in Austria, the University of Navarra in Spain, and the University of Siegen in Germany met with CASE Europe staff in seven European cities to discuss ways to strengthen alumni programmes and networking between institutions. UK colleagues from the Universities of Birmingham, Liverpool, Reading, University College London, Birkbeck, and the School of Oriental and African Studies also participated in the project. (ERIC). |
