Create Meaningful & Mission-Aligned Connections for Increased Engagement Opportunities

Many institutions rely on “episodic” alumni engagement through annual events, homecoming, reunion, and fundraising while missing opportunities for deeper, ongoing connection. Changing how you interact and engage with your alumni through a well-designed and sustainable alumni mentoring strategy will support student success, strengthen belonging and build lifelong institutional ties.

Join us for an engaging and practical webinar on July 14, 2026, designed for campus professionals across advancement, career services, academic affairs, and student success. Our expert presenter will share insights from Florida Atlantic University’s new Mentoring Programs Office.  She will share how to create a coordinated, campus-wide approach that expands mentoring access; engagement; and the sustainability of an alumni mentoring program that breaks down silos, strengthens student belonging, and delivers measurable outcomes.

This webinar will provide the tools and strategies you need to build a mentoring culture that is coordinated, inclusive and outcomes driven. Move beyond fragmented alumni engagement events and toward a more meaningful, measurable, and mission-aligned approach that sustains genuine and meaningful connections between alumni and students.

Topics Covered

You will gain crucial, actionable takeaways that will help you:

• Design and build a sustainable alumni mentoring framework that aligns with your institutional mission.
• Leverage relationships with alumni and create strategic partnership opportunities through meaningful engagement and mentoring opportunities.
• Move from one-off mentoring programs to a long-term, relationship-based engagement strategy starting as early as freshman year.
• Align mentoring programs with institutional goals, including career placement, development goals and student success metrics. 
• Collaborate across career services, advancement, government relations, and academic units to create a unified mentoring ecosystem.
