This is a page to help combine a few ideas about keeping Alumni involved in clubs and socs activity.
Brainstorming
Just getting started with this, but here are some things that are being discussed:
- A "clubs and socs day" for alumni, encouraging them to come back and re-join and talk to DCU societies
- Working with the DCU Alumni Relations officer on projects
- A LinkedIn/OpenBC style website specific to DCU, to categorise alumni & their DCU contacts
- An official list of DCU societies/clubs with active Alumni membership (Redbrick a good example)
- Discounted postgraduate courses / further education for Alumni, to encourage more study at DCU?
- "Alumni talks" series, possible monthly talk from an Alumni on a topic, could be archived
- Alumni have a lot of experience, useful for training etc.
