One of the best ways to meet diverse alumni needs with limited staff and resources is to create campus partnerships with other offices that interact with alumni to form a united front.
Amid growing demands and shrinking resources, Stony Brook University Executive Director of Alumni Relations Matthew Colson and his team have done an amazing job expanding their reach to better support more than 180,000 alumni worldwide. The team has met with as many campus partners as possible to create a culture on campus that recognizes expanding alumni engagement as an institutional priority.
