Alumni relations professionals have experienced numerous significant changes in recent years. Faced with challenges such as communicating value to other areas of the shop, managing talent and volunteers in a hybrid work environment, interpreting new sources of data and metrics, and continuously adapting strategy to forge more meaningful connections with alumni, many need a space to step back, reflect, and exchange ideas with peers.

Join us for an online series to discuss hot topics facing alumni relations professionals just like you. You’ll have space to share pressing concerns, questions, and current practices with others in the field in anticipation of what’s next for the alumni relations profession.

Each session will be facilitated by our expert panel:

• Megan Stevens, Assistant Vice President for Annual Giving and Alumni Engagement, Stevens Institute of Technology
• Nancy Merritt, Vice Chancellor for Alumni Relations, University of Pittsburgh
• Lauren Villanueva, Vice President for Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving, Syracuse University

Collectively, they bring 30+ years of experience to the table as leaders/supervisors of alumni relations professionals.

The series consists of six one-hour discussions. To get the discussion started, we will begin each session by identifying a hot topic facing this audience. We’ll then spend most of the session in conversation with other alumni relations professionals from across the country in exchanging ideas, sharing promising practices, and providing the space for asking questions.

You may choose to attend some or all these discussion sessions. To get the most out of the series, we encourage you to attend all six; however, if you can only attend one or two, you will still benefit from the information and collective dialogue involved.
