Form an alumni association or group

Forming an alumni group or association is a great way for members to build and maintain networks and to maintain their connection with the University in mutually beneficial ways. An alumni group or association is created by alumni who share a common location (country, city or region) or interest (course, industry or profession) and set up an ongoing program of activities.

Definition

An alumni group is an informal self-managed network of alumni members. There is less administrative burden in establishing and running an alumni group as opposed to establishing a formal alumni association. Alumni groups have an informal relationship with the University and as such are ultimately responsible for the conduct and management of their programs.

  • Leaders are identified.
  • The intent of the group is defined (a shared purpose, interest or location).
  • Meetings/events are planned and delivered.

Support you'll receive

The university supports the group through the provision and dissemination of information, providing access to other alumni or staff within the university and on occasion providing physical or financial support for events.

On occasion the University will decide to form an alumni group. Usually this would to be understand needs and to gather requirements/feedback on key issues. Alumni members contribute as requested.

Tips

If you’re interested in forming an alumni group for your location or profession, we’ve pulled together our top tips:

  • Contact an existing alumni group for pointers and advice. The Alumni Office can help put you in touch.
  • Identify enthusiastic alumni to drive the alumni group.
  • Identify the groups aims and objectives.
  • Decide activities, programs, events, and methods of communication.
  • Decide on your group structure and match roles with the skillsets of your volunteers.
  • Communicate your plan to start an alumni group to the wider alumni group to gauge interest.
  • Begin communications with group via their preferred channels (newsletter, social media, emails etc).
  • Begin alumni group programs/activities/events and hold regular meetings for the committee and any other interested people.

And don’t forget, we’re here to help. Contact alumni@csu.edu.au for assistance with setting up and promoting your Alumni Group or Association.

Structure

An alumni association requires a formal structure, an AGM and a formally adopted constitution and elected Office Bearers.
