Alumni Networking Agent

The Problem

Every institution has an alumni database. Few do much with it. Graduates lose touch after a year or two, mentorship programs rely on manual matching that doesn’t scale, and potential industry partnerships go unidentified because nobody has time to cross-reference alumni career progressions with institutional needs. The network exists on paper, but it’s not generating value for current students or the institution.

How It Works

The Alumni Networking Agent integrates with your CRM (Salesforce Education Cloud, Blackbaud, Ellucian CRM Advance, or similar) and actively works the alumni database. It matches current students with alumni mentors based on career interests, industry, and location — not just random pairings, but connections where both parties get something useful from the relationship. It identifies alumni in positions relevant to institutional partnerships, research collaboration, or guest speaking opportunities. It manages event coordination and tracks engagement levels, flagging alumni who are becoming less connected so your advancement team can re-engage them before they drift away entirely.

Turning Connections into Outcomes

A well-connected alumni network improves graduate employability, drives philanthropic giving, and strengthens your institution’s reputation with prospective students. This agent does the relationship management work that advancement teams want to do but don’t have the capacity for. If you’re looking to get more value from your alumni network, our integration team can connect your existing CRM and student systems to make it work.
