Features At the core of each Homecoming and Reunion 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 Homecoming and Reunion KnowingTree to special institutional needs. Through access to an administrative page, the alumni office can generate mailing lists of people who share specific characteristics. The administrative page also features a printing function so that copies of the Homecoming and Reunion KnowingTree can be made available. The Alumni KnowingTree fosters a sense of community among alumni throughout the year by linking alumni with shared interests.
