Through focused outreach, Sri Venkateswara University College of Engineering (SVUCE) successfully registered 7,084 alumni on its alumni portal. With a target of 10,000+ signups, the institution has already achieved 70% of its goal driven by batch champions, a network of active alumni and staff who mobilized their peers to register. Vaave helped SVUCE migrate existing member data to the portal, simplifying the signup process and portal access.
Background
Formally registered in 2018, the SVUCE Alumni Association (SVUCEAA) oversees all alumni engagement initiatives for the university. Its primary objective is to work for the welfare of its alumni community, offering professional and personal assistance to alumni in need, promoting entrepreneurship, creating opportunities through networking, and supporting gatherings for alumni across the globe.
The association also aims to involve alumni in guiding students for competitive exams, contributing to institutional development, and providing financial support for students.
To achieve these objectives effectively, the association set out to get 10,000 alumni to sign up on the portal, enabling streamlined engagement and making it easier to connect, support, and collaborate with the community.
The Approach That’s Working
SVUCE Alumni Association adopted two key techniques that proved instrumental in mobilizing alumni and ultimately achieving 7,084 registrations on the alumni portal.
1. Batch Ambassadors
The association identified over 885 active alumni from 65 different batches spanning multiple age groups. Sharing a strong affinity for their alma mater and well-connected within their respective batches, these alumni were tasked with ensuring their peers registered on the portal by sharing mobile app and website registration links in batch-specific social media and WhatsApp groups. They also regularly posted updates on association activities to encourage participation.
To coordinate these efforts, the association created a dedicated WhatsApp group called SVUCE Ambassadors, where members share batch updates and other relevant information to help drive registrations. The group admin posts weekly statistics on new signups, keeping everyone informed and motivated to reach the target.
2. Early Student Onboarding
Recognizing that today’s students are tomorrow’s alumni, the association actively encouraged current students to register on the alumni portal, connect with alumni, and begin building professional relationships. This initiative proved highly successful, with 1,900 of 2,100 students signing up, adding to the 7,084 alumni registrations.
Conclusion
SVUCE’s registration of over 7,000 verified alumni showcases the impact of targeted outreach and peer-led mobilization. By empowering batch ambassadors and engaging current students, the association has achieved 70% of its signup goal and built a strong base for alumni-student collaboration. Vaave’s seamless migration of member data simplified onboarding, driving faster adoption. With proven strategies and an active network, SVUCE is on track to cross 10,000 registrations and strengthen its alumni community.
