Alumni Association
Revitalization Project
We are
pleased to report that the school is in the process of re-developing an active
association for our valued graduates and friends. Alumni play a vital role in
the community and we acknowledge the value and importance of our graduates as
active and influential ambassadors for the school.
With
that in mind, a project has been planned to design and implement a brand new
alumni approach and program, that supports the school's mission and ensures its
members maintain a productive and life long relationship with UTMB and the
School of Allied Health Sciences.
Project Goals and
Objectives
Phase one
of the project. This included a mailing to kick off “Mission Reconnect”, updates
to the university wide alumni database and a review of current alumni activities
of the school.
With the beginning of
2008, phase two of the project has launched into gear. This will involve:
-
Address Recovery project – we want to learn more about
where our alumni are and what they are doing so we can make sure they don’t
miss out on the social and professional networking opportunities that are to
come.
-
The construction of a new alumni website - plans for a
new on-line alumni directory are underway and we expect to launch any day
now.
-
Market Research of the University’s alumni community – we also want to find
out more about the interests and needs of our alumni community so that we
are able to develop a compelling and exciting alumni program.
-
In house consultation on a proposed approach and operating structure for
alumni relations at UTMB.
-
An Alumni Program of Engagement – from the collective findings of all the
initiatives listed above, we aim to develop a tailored alumni approach and
program which allows graduates and friends of the University to keep in
touch and benefit.
Things
are progressing well, but we also need to hear from you! We want to hear
about what services, benefits, activities etc you would like your alumni
association to provide. Take the opportunity to play a part in the re-formation
of an alumni association that satisfies your interests and meets your needs by
letting us know your suggestions. We're especially interested in suggestions in how to increase alumni involvement
and keep our network together. If you have any suggestions, please let us know.
Send us
an email with your comments and suggestions to
maconley@utmb.edu and we'll make sure that your voice is heard!
As more information is
available we will post it here. Again many thanks to you, our alumni
and friends!
Sincerely,
