Clubs and Socs Alumni

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.com/openbc.com 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

Good Idea

Why is some sort of alumni involvement in a club or society a *good idea*?

• Alumni are coming back to DCU to help out with Clubs & Socs independently, and for free

Bad Idea

Why is some sort of alumni involvement in a club or society a *bad idea*?

• Most of the power needs to be with the ordinary members, it'd be bad if the oldies were throwing their weight around years after they've left
