How Do I Manage Alumni Contact Lists and Engagement?
To manage alumni contact lists and engagement, turn graduates into alumni records with course, graduation year and current contact details, keep them updated through a periodic form and track every interaction — events, messages, referrals, new enrollments.
In Jestor, alumni records stay linked to their student history, so the school knows each graduate's journey.
Why do alumni relationships fade?
After graduation, contact details change and nobody updates them. The school loses touch with people who could refer students or return for new courses.
Engagement actions happen occasionally, without any record of who participated.
What problems does alumni management solve?
- Outdated contact information
- No segmentation by course or year
- Unknown participation in events
- Missed opportunities for new enrollments
- No record of alumni referrals
