A recent Gallup survey of more than 5,000 college graduates reveals that more than 80% of respondents describe the alumni network of their alma maters to be a non-factor or very unhelpful in helping them to advance their careers. From Gallup: Many forward-thinking universities are actively engaged in the hard work of mobilizing their alumni networks, but Gallup research suggests that making an alumni network useful takes work and intentionality, and that most alumni networks are not actively engaged in supporting fellow alumni in the job market. Importantly, creating an engaged alumnus is nearly impossible if that graduate did not experience a fulfilling undergraduate experience. The most active and successful networks will be the result of programming that shows students support while they are students and that motivates them to contribute upon graduation.
