The video embedded in this blog post is a recording of a live online discussion about measuring alumni engagement. It took place April 18, 2013, as part of Higher Ed Live, a series that explores topics across higher education.
This program included two panelists besides me, Alumni Futures advisory group members Charlie Melichar (Vanderbilt University) and Andrew Gossen (Cornell University). Using my recent blog post about The Risk in Measuring Alumni Engagement as a starting point, and guided by Ryan Catherwood of the University of Virginia, we discussed a range of topics, including using data, choosing metrics, fundraising as an alumni relations outcome, social media, and more.
