As a part of the National Education Policy (NEP)<\/strong> 2020, <\/strong>the University Grants Commission (UGC)<\/strong> emphasized the importance of alumni\u2019s role in an institution\u2019s well-being and laid directives for fortifying alumni engagement. UGC created these guidelines based on the objective “Student Career Progression and Alumni Network”<\/strong>. To learn more about the guidelines, please visit – UGC’s Guidelines for Alumni Engagement in Higher Education<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s peek at what the 5 important guidelines<\/strong> are and how Vaave can assist your institution in realizing them to fruition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alumni Connect Cell<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

UGC recommends establishing an Alumni Connect Cell<\/strong>. The Alumni Connect cell can be a committee consisting of faculty and alumni. It can also constitute a <\/strong>Student-Alumni Relationship Cell<\/strong> (SARC)<\/strong><\/span>, that consists of current students from all academic years. This cell can be instrumental in coordinating with alumni, hosting events, managing alumni databases, digital campaigns, and much more!

Continuous Engagement<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The benefits reaped while engaging the alumni are mutual to both the institution and the alumni. At Vaave, we have diligently curated 13 Alumni Engagement Programs<\/span> <\/strong>covering all the vital aspects such as mentoring, scholarships, placements, entrepreneurship, and so on.

Maintaining Alumni Database<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Building an alumni database is pure drudgery, but it can be rewarding to the institution in the long run. It gives you an idea about what kind of alumni you are harboring and their interests so that you can plan alumni interactions accordingly. Also, an alumni portal can seamlessly integrate all your needs making it a one-stop shop for the alumni.

Virtual Alumni Engagement<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Alumni engagement has joined the bandwagon of virtual interaction, making it easy for the alumni to engage in the comfort of their place. All the alumni events can be conducted virtually skipping the expensive physical arrangements. Having a dedicated Alumni Mobile App<\/span><\/strong> where the alumni can interact with each other and the institution also comes under virtual engagement.\u00a0

Branding Building<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
