Content help for alumni associations and class volunteers
Alumni associations often hold the best material a school has: reunion photos, class lists and stories nobody else kept. Rocket takes on the typing and organizing for the agreed material, so volunteers can spend their time finding and checking it.

Why it matters
Volunteers hold the history, scattered across homes
Class scrapbooks sit in basements and reunion photos live on personal phones. When a volunteer moves or steps back, that material can disappear with them.
Ideas for Alumni Associations
Notable alumni profiles
Feature graduates known for service, careers or community work, with a photo and short bio.
Content grouped by class year
Organize material by graduating class so alumni can find their own year first.
Reunion photos with names
Collect reunion photos with names and class years so they can join the archive.
Distinguished alumni award winners
List past winners with the year and citation, which are often already in old event programs.
Veterans and service honors
Recognize alumni who served, gathering names, branches and years with family input.
Volunteer-collected stories
Ask class agents to collect short memories or bios from classmates.
How it works with Data Entry & Project Management
Alumni Associations, step by step.
Three steps
Work with the school on scope
Partner with the school’s project owner to agree on the first collection and who answers questions.
Send what volunteers gathered
Share photos, class lists and documents in one place, and Rocket organizes the agreed material into entries.
Check with the people who know
Volunteers and school staff check names and class years and confirm permission to use photos before launch.
Setups vary by school; your demo confirms what yours will use.
Best practices
Tips to get it right.
Alumni Associations tips
Use one drop-off point
Give volunteers a single shared folder or contact for files, so nothing gets stuck on personal devices.
Ask for names with every photo
A photo with names and a year is far more useful than ten unlabeled ones.
Work through the school
Coordinate with the school’s project owner so alumni content follows the same plan and review.
Recruit a class rep per decade
One volunteer per decade can check names and track down missing classmates.

Questions
Alumni Associations questions
Associations can gather class records, reunion photos and alumni stories, and help confirm names and years. Coordinate with the school’s project owner so your material fits the agreed plan.
Rocket enters the agreed material your volunteers gather and sends missing details back to your contact. That leaves volunteers more time to find material and check it.
Yes. The recognition experience can be explored on the web as well as on campus. Alumni can look up their class from wherever they live.
Start with one collection, such as distinguished alumni award winners or a milestone class. A sample of your material is enough for a first conversation.
