Alumni association to produce new directory
June 24, 2020
For the first time in almost a decade, the UAF Alumni Association is creating an updated
alumni directory. The organization is working with a third-party vendor called PCI.
Representatives from the vendor will be calling, emailing and sending postcards to
graduates. Their goal is to have a conversation with as many UAF alumni as possible
to confirm the accuracy of the university's data and fill in any information gaps.
Theresa Bakker, the executive director of the UAF Alumni Association, said the project
will help the organization connect with constituents and facilitate their connections
to each other.
"Our goals are strengthening our connection to our alumni, learning how they want
to be engaged and introducing alumni to our new online engagement platform, Nanook
Network," Bakker said.
Up-to-date alumni information is essential for developing career-mentoring programs
to benefit both students and alumni. UAF graduates also have the option to provide
updated information via the alumni website. This project will also give alumni a chance
to purchase the new directory, which is only available through the vendor.
