Your Alumni Association

February 27, 2007

When you are thinking about new ways to create a little buzz, it is easy to overlook the obvious. Many Alumni Associations have alumni magazines and publish news about past students. They are often interested in any kind of change or achievement.

Published a book?
Get a promotion?
Change jobs?
Win an award?

I usually look through mine to see if anyone jumps out at me as someone I would like to contact. It is probably as easy as going to the college website, clicking on a link to the alumni association and finding the contact page. Many are moving to eMagazines as well, so you can look through and find some interesting people.

The best alumni associations also have online communities where you can see other members and network. There is something powerful about having several years of your life spent in the same place as someone else. You meet with many things already in common and have a wealth of things to talk about, whether you are a CEO, a Hippy, or both.

- Thank You!
