The second problem is finding current addresses of those graduates. Addresses of graduates who have contacted the college for any reason, such as requesting a transcript, are in the college's computer system, Moyle said. City directories, and address lists from area high school reunions will also help, she said. Some of our division chairs, after spending time at some of the four-year institutions during an articulation visit, returned with glowing reports from former students. The success of some alumni, however, will make them easier to identify.
Many colleges consider everyone who attended as alumni when it comes to mailings of all kinds.
The program, she said, will allow the college to maintain contact with graduates and to tailor mailings based on the individual's preferences. Moyle, who has served as a division secretary at IVCC, has a background in alumni affairs at Wheaton College where she also assisted in the editing of the alumni magazine. She will be working with the new Director of Development, Bonita Dahlbach.
