IEEE Canada Technology Leadership Webinar Series - XIII
Canadian Universities Can Work Better with Alumnus
It goes without saying that building deep relationships with alumni is a strategic goal of all Universities. Unfortunately, the way most universities approach alumni engagements, results in driving them away and in most cases, alumni avoid any contact with their universities. In this talk, a framework is proposed to engage alumni at various levels with their universities that would be very beneficial for both sides. The framework is simple and easy to implement and generates results for both sides. It satisfies the universities goals of deep relationships with alumni and fund raising and the alumni goals of technology engagements and giving back to their universities.
