A Beautiful Friendship
DiConsiglio, John
CURRENTS, v38 n5 p18-23 May-Jun 2012
In this article, the author talks about the significance of the collaboration between alumni relations and student affairs offices in overcoming misinformation and silos. Each has something the other wants. For the alumni office, student affairs offers a treasure trove of resources. They have databases with contact information, affinity-based records, and a history of effectively targeted programming. To student affairs, the alumni team presents a variety of opportunities, from mentors and event speakers to career counseling and job connections. Partnerships between alumni relations and student affairs start at the top, with senior leadership setting a collaboration mandate and directing the institution's culture. The author presents examples of alumni relations-student affairs partnerships.
