Alumnus will be better equipped to lobby for SSU needs with their locally elected state and national officials, recruit their respective talented students for SSU admission, recommend potential faculty and staff, and most importantly, provide vigorous support for various campus events, campaigns, etc. Sharing of pertinent information within the unit will help streamline activities as well as prevent the pitfalls of missed opportunities and strained relationships internally and externally. Continued professional development will assist in overall alumni programming as it will help to fine tune areas that are faltering, prevent us from re-inventing the wheel and allow the opportunity to exchange and share ideas and information that can benefit not only this information but advancement professionals in general. The activities of this office can change almost daily with a phone call. Decisions must be made and adhered to with reference to priorities for alumni relations specifically and advancement in general.
Inconsistency affects our total operation.
These relationships are critical to the success of any campaign for support.
