Thursday, November 19, 2026 2:00 – 3:15 pm ET How Student Workers, Strategic Audits & Authentic Storytelling Drove a 1,316% Increase in Reach Across higher education, alumni and communication teams are being asked to reach more students, engage more alumni, and strengthen campus connection in an environment where attention is scarce and digital habits shift constantly. Many institutions still rely on instinct, tradition, or “what feels right” instead of what the data shows. Join us on November 19, 2026, as our expert presenters share the practical, evidence-based strategies they used to rebuild their entire social media presence using a disciplined, year long audit and student worker driven storytelling approach. Their focused alumni engagement strategy resulted in significant, measurable growth. Their social media accounts saw dramatic improvement from FY24 to FY26 with a reach increase of 1,316%, interactions increase of 2,367% and a net followers increase of 390%. Harness the opportunity to engage alumni in a meaningful way to ensure that you are building the strongest and most connected alumni. Build a more connected alumni community ready to give back with their time, talent and treasure.
