In our culture, it has become increasingly difficult for people to stay connected to one another. The Alumni KnowingTree dramatically increases peoples' abilities to stay connected or to reconnect. It fosters a sense of community by making it easy for alumni to get to know each other better and by linking people with common interests. Features At the core of each Alumni KnowingTree is a secure database of the history and interests of alumni. A KnowingTree is created when alumni complete an online questionnaire .
Alumni also have the option of uploading a photo.
The software uses information from the questionnaire to instantly generate listing pages. Participants can then search the database to view listing pages or to identify people who share interests. Alumni can easily update their pages online. Web links make it easy for alumni to find out about upcoming events or special fundraising campaigns. In addition, customization of the questionnaire makes it possible to tailor a Alumni KnowingTree to special institutional needs such as the development of internships and job postings.
