Keen to:
Then setting up your own Alumni Network might be just the thing to get your teeth into and it takes just 3 simple steps to get things going:
Step 1: Gather 3 like minded graduates
It takes just 3 like minded graduates and a JCU staff member (to provide support) to start the formation of a “Network” based on either geographical location, or on a subject, discipline or professional interest
Step 2: Email JCU Alumni Engagement Office
Simply email to [email protected] with minimium 3 core interested individuals to start the ball rolling. Please note that the minimum number of interested core individual required may differs according to certain variables, the Alumni Engagement Office will help and advise accordingly.
Once that is done, Alumni Engagement Office will source & extract a list of like minded individuals from their alumni database who have expressed similar interest, live in the same country or are part of the same professional / discipline cohort.
An invitation email will be drafted and sent out by Alumni Engagement Office on behalf of the new Network.
Step 3: Organise Start Up Functions / Events
Once a small group is started, Alumni Engagement Office will assist the new Network Committee with organising a couple of start-up functions to further its growth.
Once the Network is stabilised and fully functional on its own, Alumni Engagement Office will step back and take on a supporting advisory role.
By encouraging the development of networks, the University aims to provide alumni with a vehicle by which they can use their special skills and knowledge, network, give back to the institution, preserve and upgrade the standing of their degree/s and make a difference to the experience of life long learning for many.
