Why it matters

Alumni stories live in newsletters and inboxes

Alumni offices collect great updates through newsletters, reunion forms and emails, then the stories scatter. Students rarely hear about graduates who share their path. A profile collection gives those stories a lasting place.

Ideas for Alumni Profile Project

Distinguished alumni awards

Start with graduates your school has already honored.

Career paths by field

Group alumni by field so students can find someone in medicine, the trades or the arts.

Military and service profiles

Honor alumni who served, with details their families approve.

Class notes turned into profiles

Reunion updates can seed short profiles with the alum’s permission.

Then-and-now photos

A yearbook portrait beside a current photo shows the path.

Alumni who came back to teach

Graduates now on staff make a meaningful local section.

How it works with Data Entry & Project Management

Alumni Profile Project, step by step.

Three steps

  1. Choose the first group of alumni

    Pick a defined group, such as past award recipients, and gather their bios and photos.

  2. Rocket enters approved profiles

    Rocket works from the material your alumni office shares and returns profiles missing a detail or a photo.

  3. Alumni office confirms each one

    Your office checks names, class years and permissions and shares corrections before profiles are public.

Setups vary by school; your demo confirms what yours will use.

Best practices

Tips to get it right.

Alumni Profile Project tips

  1. Ask permission as you collect

    Request approval of the bio and photo in the same message you ask for them.

  2. Use a short standard form

    A few fixed questions make profiles consistent and quick to write.

  3. Include recent graduates

    Younger alumni show students paths that feel within reach.

  4. Refresh profiles at reunions

    Reunions are a natural time to update careers and photos.

Questions

Alumni Profile Project questions
