Using Alumni Research to Make the Case
Think of it as Meta word-of-mouth advertising (and like word of mouth, it is free). Harness the many voices of alumni and those of other private colleges—compared side by side with those of pubic college graduates. Private college alums know and love their alma maters and are happy to assert the value of their private education.
Here, Hardwick-Day offers several samples of “alumni research in action,” both real and imagined.
- Web layout for 'Hardwick' University
- Posters for Randolph-Macon University
- Web layout for College of St. Benedict/St. John's University
Submit a great example of alumni research in recruitment practice.
