EDUCATION
With a special place in formative years of their student's lives, educational
institutions provide a unique environment where lifetime bonds are formed
in just a few, short years. Upon graduation, students also assume the new
role of ambassador and financial caretaker of their school's future. While
this involvement is pivotal in any school's success, maintaining contact
and driving alumni involvement is easier said than done. Fortunately, LocalVoice
can help.
Whether as class agents, donors, mentors or volunteers, many alumni are
eager to give back in exchange for the ability to connect with other classmates.
Using LocalVoice's advanced online alumni directory to facilitate networking,
social gatherings, job postings and discussion groups, schools are now
able to leverage their alumni at all stages of life.
Accordingly, LocalVoice's online Alumni Community delivers the following
benefits to educational institutions.
Improved Alumni Tracking - As the key to successful reunions, networking
activities and fundraising, alumni directors are constantly faced with
the challenge of keeping up with their alumni as they build their careers
and families. LocalVoice's online alumni directory dramatically improves
a school's effectiveness at contacting and engaging its students.
Increased Database Accuracy - By providing a community for online interaction,
LocalVoice's online alumni directory encourages alumni to frequently update
their profiles and provide more accurate information about them. Accordingly,
this provides schools with a higher percentage of accurate contact and
personal information.
Relevant Alumni Services- Although good at building school affinity, many
alumni programs do poorly when it comes to providing services that are
relevant and valuable to their alumni. By contrast, LocalVoice helps educational
institutions increase the value of their alumni relationships by creating
private communities where alumni can connect with old friends, pursue networking
opportunities and receive relevant school news.
