Overview

Learn how to make your alumni awards an engaging, year-round program that benefits the entire campus. Matthew Colson, executive director of alumni relations, will share details on Stony Brook University’s award winning “40 Under Forty” program, and show you how you can create a program that:

  • Focuses on catching young alumni at the start of their careers
  • Engages award winners as mentors, speakers, and campus leaders
  • Provides unique in-classroom experiences for faculty, alumni, and students
  • Feeds content for use in prospective student materials

Who should attend?

This webcast is designed for alumni relations professionals who are looking to redesign or implement an alumni awards program that provides meaningful engagement on an ongoing basis. While this program is focused on young alumni, this model can be applied to any segment of your alumni population.
