An alumni center display graduates come back to see
Alumni centers host reunions, board meetings and donor visits, and every one of those guests wants to find someone they know. A display there connects returning graduates to their own class, team and teachers.

Why it matters
Alumni visits rarely show the full story
Alumni offices often rely on a few framed photos, a donor plaque and a guestbook. Graduates who visit cannot find their own class, and donors may not see their gifts recognized. A display lets every graduate find themselves and see the people who support the school.

Reunion highlights
Add photos from each reunion so classes can see who came back.
Faculty through the years
Feature long-serving teachers and coaches, often the first people alumni ask about.

Rotate mentoring, volunteering and event messages for graduates who want to give back.
How it works with Hardware
Alumni Center Display, step by step.
Three steps
Plan for reunion traffic
Tell us how many people gather in the space during events. Rocket compares wall-mounted, kiosk and WonderWall options and shares a free installation mockup.
Confirm the room with facilities
Your facilities or IT team checks mounting, cable routing, a nearby power outlet and a network connection before the order is placed.
Launch on campus and online
Connect the display and launch. Graduates who cannot visit can explore the same profiles and yearbooks on the web.
Setups vary by school; your demo confirms what yours will use.

Alumni Center Display tips
Make search the first thing they see
Alumni almost always look for their own name or class first. Put search and class year front and center.
Update before reunions
Add the latest class photos and inductees a few weeks before reunion weekend so returning graduates see current content.
Ask alumni to send photos
Graduates often have the best team and event photos. Collect them through your usual process and review permissions before publishing.
Keep donor wording consistent
Agree on how donor names and campaigns appear before launch, so advancement staff do not have to fix entries later.
