Post-graduation engagement....

What should be anticipated? Org should reach out. Students will forget. Options in geographic location. 6-months out call to action.

Alumni reps could reach out in the Fall. Everyone should be on LinkedIn and Facebook and connected to the MMM group.

Students have their email addresses forwarded to another address. The Alumni rep should QA this.

An alumni DB dump is possible.

If a geographic DB is made, we can connect new alumns to local alumns. Geographic captain? Fall Connect?

A recent alumnus would be more ideal to organize this.

Ideas for Onboarding

- Summer internships: People are distributed geographically. Can they connect to the alumni in their areas? How about their specific interests?

How can we connect to alumnae with specific interests?

This is hard to do. We should start by focusing on geography and ad-hoc connections.

If we had a geography captain, they can generate a report for each intern and provide a hit-list for them to reach out to. The alumnae would also be notified of the interns so they can reach out too.

Interns already post interests in the Student Directory. Major, previous work experience, where they are interning, hobbies.

Final doc can be updated with final geography of internship. (Google Doc).

Mentoring Program

- KAMP.

- MMM variable to be added. The program managers are aware of the MMM variable.

- Online functionality still pending.
